Try this:

%JAVA_HOME%/bin/javadoc
...1 error

If that works (command exists and runs with no input), then your
JAVA_HOME is set properly. If not, then you've got something wrong,
and you're probably pointing to a JRE rather than a JDK as Greg
suggested.

RE: ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory

Vaishoo,

The first thing that comes to mind is to check that you are actually using a
JDK, rather than a JRE and that your JAVA_HOME is pointing to a JDK root
directory, not the nin directory.

E.g.

JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_11

Or

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/j2se5.0-sun

The other thing under Windows is to make sure there are no double quotes (")
in the string as Windows puts in when it expands directory names at the
prompt.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Greg J.
