I found this on a Forum online:
"Does the javac task in your buildfile have fork="yes"? If not, then it
doesn't matter what the java.home property is set to; ant will attempt to
call the javac Main method in the same java process, which from your error
is a JRE, not a JDK.
*EDIT* Try setting the executable property of your javac task to the full
path to the javac binary.
----------------
I was looking for something like the "executable" property and just didn't
see it. It's annoying that I have to set it for each javac task, but it
works. Thanks."
Does it ring any bells to any one?? Is it possible to set fork=yes
programmatically?
