Ant not respecting JAVA_HOME
I have set JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME environment variables as well as adding
%JAVA_HOME%\bin and %ANT_HOME\bin to the PATH environment variable.
When I echo JAVA_HOME, I get the value I expect:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk.1.6.0_23
When I echo ANT_HOME I get the value I expect:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-ant-1.8.2\bin
However when I run Ant, I get:
Unable to locate tools.jar (because it is looking in C:\Program Files\Java\*
jre6*\lib\tools.jar)
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed
So even though JAVA_HOME appears to be set correctly as an environment
variable, Ant is still looking at the jre rather than the jdk. So it seems
as if my JAVA_HOME is being overwriten or Ant is ignoring it. Any thoughts
how I can fix this?
Thanks,
Brian

Brian,
you can try this as well
C:\Users\Brian>cd C:\AntTest
C:\AntTest>set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk.1.6.0_23
C:\AntTest>set ANT_HOME=C:\Ant
C:\AntTest>set path=%JAVA_HOME%\bin
C:\AntTest>java -classpath "%ANT_HOME%\lib\ant-launcher.jar"
-Dant.home=c:\ant org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher

Re: Ant not respecting JAVA_HOME
Thanks for the help guys... this is what I got:
WITH QUOTES:
C:\Users\Brian>cd C:\AntTest
C:\AntTest>set JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk.1.6.0_23"
C:\AntTest>set ANT_HOME="C:\Ant"
C:\AntTest>%ANT_HOME%\bin\ant
The syntax of the command is incorrect.
WITHOUT QUOTES:
C:\Users\Brian>cd C:\AntTest
C:\AntTest>set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk.1.6.0_23
C:\AntTest>set ANT_HOME=C:\Ant
C:\AntTest>%ANT_HOME%\bin\ant
Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program
Files\Java\jre6\li
b\tools.jar
Buildfile: C:\AntTest\build.xml
hello:
[echo] Hello, World
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
So with quotes it wouldn't run at all. Without quotes, it ran, but still
is
looking in the JRE directory. Is now a good time to start banging my head
against the wall?

What I do is have a build.bat file that contains something like the
following.
I don't have any spaces in paths, so you may need to add the quotes if you
do.
@echo off
SetLocal
set ROOT=C:\
set LIB=%ROOT%\Libs
set ANT_ROOT=%LIB%\ant
set JAVA_ROOT=%LIB%\Java
set ANT_HOME=%ANT_ROOT%\latest
set JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_ROOT%\latest
echo Setting up CLASSPATH
set CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%ANT_HOME%\lib\ant.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%ANT_HOME%\lib\ant-launcher.jar
echo.
echo CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%
echo.
set action=all
IF not "x%1" == "x" set action=%1
echo.
echo Ant action: %action%
echo.
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java "-Dant.home=%ANT_HOME%" -ea org.apache.tools.ant.Main
%action% %2 %3 %4 %5 %6
I then run ant by calling build.bat "target"
Hope that helps

When I wrap the variable and value with quotes as Parag suggested it runs
the build but still looks for Java in the jre directory.
I commented out the echo off line as suggested and this was the output (hope
it's not too annoying that I post the whole thing):

Don't run the .bat file by double clicking on it. Open a cmd window and
type the name of the .bat file at the prompt. Then you will get
all the output in the cmd window, which wont disappear.
You may need to use the full path to the .bat file or add its location
to your PATH so it can be found. If it is in the current directory
you can run it using .\test.bat (or whatever it is called)
Hope that they helps

Hey guys,
Thanks for the responses and tips. I have put the CALL statement into the
script. Before, I was opening the file before by double clicking on it (as
Andy guessed). By running it from the command line it looks to be running
just fine - no errors!
Now to actually create the build and see what other issues I can run into :)

Re: Ant not respecting JAVA_HOME

Brian,
How are you opening command prompt? From start->run by typing 'command' or
by typing 'cmd'?
Thanks,

Re: Ant not respecting JAVA_HOME
Thanks a lot for the help guys. Definitely making improvements. The
Progra~1 shorthand works to get Ant to find the right JDK when setting the
JAVA_HOME manually before running the build... without having to manually
set ANT_HOME, etc (commands below). So I guess that is just something I
will need to do manually each time before I run a build? Something was
said
about a .bat file, I guess I could I write a bat file to automate
resetting
JAVA_HOME each time, couldn't I?
This is the output from the Windows command prompt when I use the Progra~1
shorthand:
C:\Users\Brian>cd C:\AntTest
C:\AntTest>set JAVA_HOME=C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.6.0_23
C:\AntTest>Ant
Buildfile: C:\AntTest\build.xml
hello:
[echo] Hello, World
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
Looks good! I wrote a little .bat file (my first one, hence the
ignorance),
but it closes and opens before I can see the output to confirm there are
no
errors. This is what it looks like:
pause
cd C:\AntTest
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.6.0_23
Ant
pause
I does run the target, but for some reason, the first pause works, but the
last pause doesn't work and the command prompt closes before I can read
the
output. I guess what I'm envisioning is a .bat which would:
1. set the JAVA_HOME
2. prompt me for the Ant target I want to run
3. run the ant target
Thanks again for a few tips for this Ant rookie,
Brian

ANT is itself a .BAT file
In windows when you invoke a .BAT file control is passed to that .BAT
file much like a GOTO and not like a GOSUB [I hate BASIC but hey]
What you want to do then is
CALL Ant
and not
Ant
As by adding that magic "CALL " in front you tell the CMD.EXE to
return control to you after ANT.BAT has finished running

Re: Ant not respecting JAVA_HOME
Posted by Parag Doke <pa...@gmail.com>.
One more suggestion (same as the last email from Santanu) ...
Please try setting PATH to include JAVA_HOME\bin first and then the
existing PATH. So before you invoke ant from the cmd, type this:
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
I suspect that the JRE installation has put some kind of java.exe
under some Windows folder (system32?). So when it invokes java.exe, it
picks up the Windows folder one rather than the one under
JAVA_HOME\bin.
If you can make your build.xml sleep for a minute and figure out the
path to the java.exe (I use ProcessExplorer free tool), this could be
confirmed.
Do let us know how this goes,

RE: Ant not respecting JAVA_HOME
Posted by "Urena, Jose M (Jose)" <jo...@verizon.com>.
another tip, it is not pretty.
in windows when paths have spaces, you can try using windows short names
if you only have 1 dir that starts with "c:\Program"
then the short name for "Program Files" is "progra~1"
set JAVA_HOME="C:/progra~1/Java/jdk.1.6.0_23"
the "dir /x c:\" can give you the short name for all files at c:\

The right syntax to include a value with spaces for batch files / cmd.exe is:

So, you should have used
set "JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk.1.6.0_23"
Not sure if this might help you original issue though. Did you try to comment the echo off line (precede with "rem ") in ant.bat / ant.cmd under ANT_HOME/bin? Maybe, if you comment that, you will see on the console what executable it is trying to run.

Re: Ant not respecting JAVA_HOME

How about putting quotes only around the part with the space?
Alternately, is there an escape for the space? (in some form so Unix "\

I didn't before, but since you mentioned it I grabbed a simple hello world

Ant from the Window command line by navigating to the AntTest directory
and
then typing the "Ant" command.

Do you mean I can set the JAVA_HOME variable within the build.xml? Or
with
a command each time I run the script? I have tried setting JAVA_HOME
immediately before running the Ant command in the Windows command line but
got the same result.

Sorry, I mistyped the ANT_HOME path in the original post, I actually had
the
path set correctly. Regardless, I have gone ahead and moved Ant to a
directory with no spaces as you suggested: C:\Ant and changed the ANT_HOME
environment variable accordingly. I did not move the jdk because I'm a
little concerned that other apps are using it and I'm gonna mess something
up (kinda new at this).
So anyway, now when I run the build (with the build.xml in place), I get:

Re: Ant not respecting JAVA_HOME

Do you have the build.xml in the directory from where you are running ant?
How you are calling ant?
You can create a script and set the java_home just before calling
%ANT_HOME%/bin/ant.
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk.1.6.0_23
set ANT_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-ant-1.8.2
%ANT_HOME%\bin\ant
The ANT_HOME should be C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\apache-ant-1.8.2
and not C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-ant-1.8.2\bin
try running this from the command prompt.
Sometimes spaces in the directory names might create problems, also try
putting jdk.1.6.0_23 and apache-ant-1.8.2 in a folder which does not
contain spaces.
Thanks,

Subject:
Ant not respecting JAVA_HOME
I have set JAVA_HOME and ANT_HOME environment variables as well as adding
%JAVA_HOME%\bin and %ANT_HOME\bin to the PATH environment variable.
When I echo JAVA_HOME, I get the value I expect:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk.1.6.0_23
When I echo ANT_HOME I get the value I expect:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-ant-1.8.2\bin
However when I run Ant, I get:
Unable to locate tools.jar (because it is looking in C:\Program
Files\Java\*
jre6*\lib\tools.jar)
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed
So even though JAVA_HOME appears to be set correctly as an environment
variable, Ant is still looking at the jre rather than the jdk. So it
seems
as if my JAVA_HOME is being overwriten or Ant is ignoring it. Any
thoughts
how I can fix this?
Thanks,
Brian
