Hi Steinar,
>From your information I am making the following assumption.
You are using the default jde-ant-invocation-method, which is script.
The idea with the script method is that you have setup ANT previously in your
system, i.e you can run it from a shell or command prompt. Then jde-ant in
emacs works seemlessly. The reason I mention this is that ANT installation
requires ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME to be set.
Now to your question. I could change the jde-ant code to set the JAVA_HOME
environment to the current jde-jdk-registry setting. I don't think this is
the correctly place to do it. My suggestion would be to set the JAVA_HOME
variable as part of the jde-jdk-registry. And that would fix the problem.
Paul: If I recall correctly I suggested this before. It seems to me like
the correct thing to do but I don't know if users will like jde mocking
with their environment variables. Any thougths?
