Trouble with installation
Hello -
Let me preface this with saying I am not a Java guru by any means. I am
trying to install Ant 1.7 in conjunction with a Pentaho Business
Intelligence installation. I had extracted the application into a
directory on my server and tried to create a build.xml but then learned
that Ant needs the Java JDK installed and not just a JRE. I had 1.5.0_04
JRE installed. Downloaded 1.5.0_15 JDK and installed that on my server.
Yesterday, when I tried to run Ant -diagnostics it indicated it was
still pointing to my _04 version even though I had changed my JAVA_HOME
and PATH to point to the new installation. I uninstalled the _04 version
completely. However, when I try to run Ant -diagnostics now it is giving
me the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/tools/ant/Launch/Launcher
I checked my java version. And this all seems correct: Java(tm) 2
Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_015-b04) Java
JotSpot(tm) Client VM (build 1.5.0_15-b04, mixed mode, sharing)
I DO NOT have a CLASSPATH set. Only ANT_HOME, JAVA_HOME, PATH. What am I
doing wrong here? I followed the instructions in the manual completely.
Did not do any of the optional tasks.
Thanks in advance for any help!

JAVA_HOME should have 1 directory in it, since it is home and not a
path. I would look for the Ant bin directory in the PATH and
JAVA_HOME to contain the directory that the java jdk is installed to.

Thanks so much for the quick response!
think I have this working now. Part of the problem was having both the
JDK and JRE paths in my JAVA_HOME when I only needed the JDK there. I
also had to point to the JRE directory of my JDK path. I created a new
environment variable called JDK_HOME that only contains my JDK path as
well. I also had, for my ANT_HOME variable the higher level Ant
directory rather than the apache-ant-1.7.0 directory, which apparently
was causing some problems. So, apparently, Ant was a bit confused about
where it was looking for stuff.

What is the java home directory?
what is PATH and JAVA_HOME?
Also, you stated that the jdk was installed but later indicate that
jre was being used.

What is the java home directory?
what is PATH and JAVA_HOME?
Also, you stated that the jdk was installed but later indicate that
jre was being used.
