Hello Christian, My PATH statement does begin with %JAVA_HOME%\bin, as you suggest. I can type stuff like, "java -version" from any prompt and the returned result is what you would expect.
What puzzles me is that the <javac> tag from the build.xml file yields the "Modern compiler is not available - using classic compiler" message, and then, apparently, it can't find javac.
