I'm not familiar with the Java versions and releases but I downloaded the newest when I downloaded it. I have been running OFBiz on it. If have not done anything major in OFBiz yet, but I believe that nothing will go wrong.
Skip what web app are you working on? Can I maybe view some of the sites that you have done with OFBiz? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2007 10:39 PM To: user@ofbiz.apache.org Subject: RE: Build This is Java 6. However, some folks report success with 1.6. I had trouble with it that could be related to other issues. Suggest you give it a try.

You said that I should not use Java 6. How would I know that?? I did java -version and it showed 1.6.03. Is this Java 6 or 5? It also says: java version "1.6.0_03" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode, sharing) I thought I downloaded Java EE.

Don't start clicking on files. build.xml is NOT generated. It is downloaded from svn. Make sure you have JAVA_HOME environmental variable set as well as ANT_HOME, eg set JAVA_HOME=<your install dir> If you are going to do any serious java development, best to permanently set in in the control panel system area. Also, get rid of java 6. This code uses java 5. Make sure JAVA_HOME points to it. I put the java bin dir in my path. Also, if you have a command prompt and type: java -version It should report 1.5x Cheers Skip -----Original Message----- From: Brendan Vogt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2007 8:50 AM To: user@ofbiz.apache.org Subject: Build Hi, How is the build.xml generated. I'm sure I doubled clicked it in Windows, then the build.xml was generated. I ran ant run-install: Then I got the following error message: BUILD FAILED C:\Development\Java\Eclipse\workspace\TestOfBiz\build.xml:106: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\Development\Java\Eclipse\workspace\TestOfBiz\framework\build.xml:132: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\Development\Java\Eclipse\workspace\TestOfBiz\framework\base\build.xml:80: Unable to find a javac compiler; com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath. Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK. It is currently set to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03" What is this error? Regards Brendan
