Can no longer build cvs tip

Somethings changed recently that's preventing me from building from cvs tip. The build gets through doing the bootstrap build but then fails to build from complaining about not finding classic or modern compiler. My JAVA_HOME is set to the correct directory. Any ideas?

Oops indeed, there's a problem here.
I did not noticed since I was using jikes.

legacy logic. It's a fallback. It's only if %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe does
not exist, since it already jumped to jikes before, so you got it wrong in
your patch if you move it to checkJikes, it will be resetted in all cases
and you will get java from the path rather than from java home...not that
before that there was a difference between existence of java home and
existence of java.exe, since when there were no java home the fallback was
the path but it has been lost in the previous patch.

I will give it a look later...all this batch script thing is a miracle when
it works. Perl is even easier to read than batch files.

Sorry, I'm unfortunately more accustomed to VSS and PVCS where we
refer to the most recent revision as the 'tip', or at least I always
have, not sure about the rest of the world.

Your reference to the scripts pointed me to the solution, I should
have looked there earlier.  The problem is in ant.bat.  It jumps off
to "checkJikes" even though the java.exe compiler exists and
therefore bypasses the statements that append the rt.jar and
tools.jar to the classpath.  I'd say it's missing a NOT.  I added
that to my version and it fixed the problem.

Also, I'm not sure why it would want to reset _JAVACMD to just
"java.exe" when the "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe" version existed.  So,
I've changed the logic around that a bit and fixed a problem with the
@endlocal if statement.

I've attached a patch.  I hope you find it useful.

What's cvs 'tip' ?

The only thing that changed is the batch scripts such as lcp.bat for example
that could have some sort of influence.
It works for me, cvs HEAD, I have a modified bootstrap.bat that I did not
committed but this should not have any influence.

> Any ideas?

Make sure your tools.jar is not corrupted, run bootstrap with -v, etc...
