Hello Everyone,
So here's what I did... I modified the source file JavaEnvUtils.java from
ANT (ant.jar), I changed the line #47:
private static final String JAVA_HOME = System.getProperty("java.home");
to: private static final String JAVA_HOME = System.getenv("JAVA_HOME");
I compiled everything and added the JavaEnvUtils.class into ant.jar..
everything seemed to be working fine, but then I got the error msg:
Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.
It is currently set to "/opt/jdk1.6.0_06"
Now, ANT goes to my JDK folder, it gets the right JAVA_HOME path, with no
JRE, but it still says that it is not a JDK java!!
I'm about to give up... I dunno what else to do...
HELP please!!! Ant is driving me crazy!!!
