Problem with JAVA_HOME relative path
Hi All,
I get the following error and I'm pretty sure that the problem is hidden
somewhere. Things of interest are in *bold* below
[INFO] Compiling 16 source files to
D:\Workspace\gwt1.6-maven2-starter-app-1.0\server\target\classes

Unable to locate the Javac Compiler in:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\*..\lib*\tools.jar
Please ensure you are using JDK 1.4 or above and not a JRE (the
com.sun.tools.javac.Main class is required). In most cases you can change
the location of your Java installation by setting the JAVA_HOME environment
variable.

My JAVA_HOME appears to be set correctly, pointing to jdk1.6.0_14. However,
the compiler plugin is looking for ..\lib\tools.jar. Which does not exist,
because the ".." (up one directory) path is actually pointing to 'C:\Program
Files\Java\lib\tools.jar' which is obviously wrong.
Any idea's where the relative path could be getting trashed?
Cheers :)
p.s. to get the source for the code I am trying to build:
svn checkout *http*://gwt-maven2-starter-app.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/gwt-maven2-starter-app-read-only

1. Fixed on Command line... I am not happy with this and don't understand
how it works!
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14*\jre*
2. Eclipse DOES fail with the error you mentioned above.... But is now
fixed!
External JRE Window -> Preferences -> .... as described in the FAQ link you
send.
THANKS HEAPS Brett :)

Are you running Eclipse IDE? Looks similar to
