All,
I have searched online and can't fine and answer so please bear with me. When I run ANT it says it can't find tools in the JRE lib, why is it looking there? If I copy tools.jar from the JDK to the JRE lib it works fine but that will break on the next update so I would prefer to fix it correctly. I have rebooted and retested. There are no extra JDK or JRE values in the path, path simplified to only show useful values. I dumped the SET values to text files and search and don't fine any references to JRE there either. In settings: PATH = .;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%ANT_HOME%\bin; Converts to: PATH = .;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\bin;C:\devenv\apache-ant-1.9.4\bin; C:\Projects>SET JAVA_HOME JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05 C:\Projects>SET ANT_HOME ANT_HOME=C:\devenv\apache-ant-1.9.4 Error: C:\Projects>ant -version Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_45\lib\tools.jar Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.4 compiled on April 29 2014 So what am I doing wrong, thanks. John
