Ant + Vista 64 : “Unable to locate tools.jar” (jre/jdk conflict?)

Question

I\'m trying to use ant in a vista 64 environment to build some docbook/xml files.

However, I can\'t resolve this error message. Anybody have suggestions?

Answer 1

I had the same problem because my JAVA_HOME path was set incorrectly (just like the OP's). It was set to the bin of the jdk.

So it was set to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin

When it should have been set to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_25

Updating this environmental variable fixed it for me.
