Do you have the build.xml in the directory from where you are running ant? How you are calling ant?
You can create a script and set the java_home just before calling %ANT_HOME%/bin/ant. set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk.1.6.0_23 set ANT_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-ant-1.8.2 %ANT_HOME%\bin\ant The ANT_HOME should be C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-ant-1.8.2 and not C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-ant-1.8.2\bin try running this from the command prompt. Sometimes spaces in the directory names might create problems, also try putting jdk.1.6.0_23 and apache-ant-1.8.2 in a folder which does not contain spaces. Thanks, Santanu From: Brian FitzGerald <bmfitzgera...@gmail.com> To: user@ant.apache.org Date: 08/22/2011 03:08 PM Subject: Ant not respecting JAVA_HOME I have set JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME environment variables as well as adding %JAVA_HOME%\bin and %ANT_HOME\bin to the PATH environment variable. When I echo JAVA_HOME, I get the value I expect: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk.1.6.0_23 When I echo ANT_HOME I get the value I expect: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-ant-1.8.2\bin However when I run Ant, I get: Unable to locate tools.jar (because it is looking in C:\Program Files\Java\* jre6*\lib\tools.jar) Buildfile: build.xml does not exist! Build failed So even though JAVA_HOME appears to be set correctly as an environment variable, Ant is still looking at the jre rather than the jdk. So it seems as if my JAVA_HOME is being overwriten or Ant is ignoring it. Any thoughts how I can fix this?
