The java.home system property and the JAVA_HOME environment variable are two different things. java.home always points to the JRE and Ant knows that, JAVA_HOME is evaluated by the Ant wrapper script. Since you are using Eclipse instead of the wrapper script, JAVA_HOME may be ignored (I'm not familiar enough with the Ant Eclipse integration to know) and the error message is a bit misleading. The code that emits the error message tries to locate tools.jar relative to the java.home system property using the well known layout of the JDK. > Java is in my path (in the windows directory) but javac is not. The problem is your parentesis. If java.home points to the Windows directory you are outside of the JDK directory and any assumptions on the file system layout are wrong. Make sure that Eclipse is run by the java executable located in your %JAVA_HOME%/jre/bin directory instead of the one in the Windows directory.
