Wherever your root sdk installation is In your mail, Steve, you wrote "JAVA-HOME". Make sure you're using "JAVA_HOME". >Note, if you already have a console window open, you will need to close >it and open a new one to get the updated system variable (I don't know >why, it just does). In both Unix and Windows (at least NT, 2K and XP), each process carries it's own environment internally. A newly created process "inherits" its initial environment from the process that created it at the time it is crated. After that, changes in the system-wide or parent process's environment do not affect that of any already running process--only that process itself can change its environment.
