Eclipse + Ant
Hi, all!
I'm trying to use ant with eclipse (2.1), and
I like the way the ant plugin integrates one
with the other, but right now I'm having some
problems.
I was making some tests, and all was well, my
classes were being compiled, going to the right
places, everything just fine. Until sometime that
I don't know what happened that when I run
the "build" target, it returns a message:
build:
[javac] Compiling 13 source files to
C:\Eclipse\workspace\myPro
[javac] BUILD FAILED: file:C:/Eclipse/
workspace/myProject/build.
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
Total time: 331 milliseconds
The only thing I remember doing is changing the compiler
of the javac command to jikes. It didn't work, so I took
off the jikes part and tried to compile ir again... and it
didn't!
I checked my JAVA_HOME variable, and it is right...
My buildfile looks like this:
<project name="myProject" default="compila">
<target name="compila">
<javac srcdir="." destdir="." />
</target>
</project>
I would appreciate if anyone had any clue of what should
I do.
thanx,
Alvim.

it doen't seems that the problem is in ur XML file, i think it's configuring the compiler...hope u check twice and post what the problem u still get
ASKER
i don't know what the problem is, i just put the xml file there 'cause
somebody could ask for it while trying to understand the problem.
the problem is: ant cannot find the javac compiler.
thx

oh, sorry. wrong answer.
if I run ant from outside, that's ok, it compiles.
if I run it from within eclipse, it doesn't.

You might only have the Runtime (JRE) set. That only has java and javaw--no javac. Ensure that you have the correct path set for the JSDK.

thanx, all, for the help, but it was
just putting tools.jar in my ant runtime
classpath, inside eclipse.
I'm having another problem now, though,
concerning compiling things with jikes.
I'm cancelling this question and posting
that as a new question.
thanx a lot!

oh, well... I don't actually know how to
cancel a question, or even if it is possible,
so I'll just award heppa the points (since
its an answer that solves the problem - only
not exactly as I need), and post my new

thanx, people!
