Ryan Willoughby commented on CB-7634:
-------------------------------------

Right, on Ubuntu.  To elaborate, the error is being thrown explicitly here: https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/3.6.3/bin/lib/check_reqs.js#L107

You can follow the conditions in the block starting at line 88 to see how fails -- basically if you have java installed but aren't on a mac and don't have JAVA_HOME set then it errors out -- even though java config is all in order.

> the android create script errors out if JAVA_HOME is not set, and the script cannot derive it. But if the javac binary is resolvable (i.e. in the users PATH), then setting JAVA_HOME is unnecessary. Don't force users to set it.
> Error message:
> Could not find JAVA_HOME. Try setting the environment variable manually
