Ant unable to locate tools.jar when building FOP trunk
Hello All,
I am on Windows XP, and I have the following packages installed:
JDK 1.6 in c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_03
apache-ant-1.7.0 in c:\program files\utils\apacahe-ant-1.7.0
fop-0.94 in c:\program files\utils\fop-0.94
fop svn (svn 637076) in c:\downloads\utils\fop
I set my environment variables as follows:
set JAVA_HOME=c:\progra~1\java\jdk1.6.0_03
set ANT_HOME=c:\progra~1\utils\apacahe-ant-1.7.0
set CLASSPATH=
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Progra~1\Dev\Git\cmd;c:\progra~1\utils\apache-ant-1.7.0\bin;c:\progra~1\
Java\jdk1.6.0_03\bin
I did not add fop to my path because I have two versions. My PATH is correct;
I can run fop and ant just by typing 'fop' and 'ant'.
When I try to build fop, I get the following output:
C:\Downloads\Utils\fop>ant
Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.
0_03\lib\tools.jar

In the end, I had to copy tools.jar to the directory where ant expected to find it.
1) How can I make ant look for tools.jar in the right place?
2) DO I need to be concerned about the things that are NOT Present?

Indeed not in the installation instructions, but there is a very
short reference to it at
http://ant.apache.org/manual/running.html#envvars
Admitted, it's very easy to overlook... I myself only noticed
yesterday. :-)
Anyway, glad to see it worked out.
Cheers

You found it!
C:\Downloads\Utils\fop>set JAVACMD
JAVACMD=java
This java == c:\windows\system32\java.exe, because c:\windows\system32
appears earlier in my %PATH% than my JDK\bin directory. Moving JDK\bin
to the front of %PATH% fixed the problem.
Unfortunately, the Ant installation instructions at
http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#installing
say nothing about JAVACMD.
Thanks for your help.

Just noticed that, if that variable exists and points to another
java.exe, that JVM is ultimately used and JAVA_HOME is completely
ignored by Ant.

I thought of that, but that's not it:

The quotes around %java_home% are necessary because of the spaces
in the path, but as you can see, it is pointing to the right place.
I will probably ask the Ant people about it.

In the meantime, I re-tested the setup on my Windows machine, and the
only way in which I was able to reproduce your issue was when the
JAVA_HOME was set to a folder that actually did not contain the JDK
(a non-existing one, for example). In that case, the Ant scripts have
all sorts of means to fall back to whatever Java version they can
find on your machine. Sure, FOP's Ant-build will echo the erroneous
value of JAVA_HOME to the screen. Only, it will not use it.
So (no offense), can you re-check? Are you *absolutely* sure the
JAVA_HOME variable points to an existing JDK location (no typos
whatsoever?).
Cheers
Andreas

Under System properties I see:
java.runtime.name : Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment
sun.boot.library.path : c:\program files\java\jre1.6.0_03\bin
Whenever a java directory appears in any of the other system properties
it is always the jre directory. I will uninstall all Java software, and install
only the JDK. That should fix it. Unfortunately, I don't have a saved copy
of the JDK installation, and the Java website is offline for maintenance
right now. If, for whatever reason, they both need to be installed,
then I will install the JDK lst. That should make it the default Java installaion.

Hmm... Can you try running 'ant -diagnostics', and see what gives? It
will give you a lot of details about the internal state, used JVM
etc... Hopefully, this will provide you with a clue.

It didn't work. I have no knowledge of debugging Java, so I can't begin
to track down this error myself. I found the following in the WHATSNEW
file in the ant directory under "Fixed bugs:"
* Ant failed to locate tools.jar if the jre directory name wasn't all
lowercase. Bugzilla Report 25798.
Just in case, I went in the Registry and changed JavaHome to lower case
everywhere, but it didn't help. I have compiled fop trunk before without
a problem, so I have no idea
what went wrong. Anyway, I have a workaround, so I won't worry about it,
although a solution is still welcome if anybody finds one.

Just a hunch, but could it have something to do with the abbreviated
path (C:\Program Files -> C:\progra~1) in the JAVA_HOME variable?
Try setting it to the full path. Windows XP has no issues with a
command like 'set JAVA_HOME=c:\program files\java...'.
> 2) DO I need to be concerned about the things that are NOT Present?
Not at all, especially not with FOP Trunk. The JAI and Jimi
dependencies are no longer relevant.
HTH!
