How is java.home set?
We're beginning our transition from our old build scripts to Ant. We're using Ant 1.3,
and
JDK 1.3. Our JAVA_HOME is d:\jdk1.3 - though the installer insists on creating a
c:\program files\javasoft\jre\1.3 directory as well. %JAVA_HOME%\bin is included in
the
path, and we can run any .exe in the bin directory, including java and javac.
Here's the core of my question: on some of our machines,
<echo message="java.home = ${java.home}"/>
produces
java.home = d:\jdk1.3
while on others, it produces
java.home = c:\program files\javasoft\jre\1.3
What's going on here?
On a (possibly) related note, we've been able to get jikes working as the build
compiler, but trying to use javac just gets a "javac can't be found" message. As
I said before, we can run javac fine from the command line.
