Can't find compiler error

[Dan MacKay <da...@kingston.hummingbird.com>]

Hi all,

I am sorry to pester you again. I think I have seen this question posted
here before but here we go again. I have ant working fine on the machine
that I have been prototyping build on. You know the drill - everything is
compiling and jar'ing and JUnit is running the correct test suites when it
is supposed to - So I thought that it would be a good time to show the boss
how easy it is to set up and use and move it over to a production machine.
Everything went fine, setting up the machine took about 15 mins, until I
went to build and I got this error that I have not seen before.

compile:
    [javac] Compiling 33 source files to E:\src\tmp\classes
    [javac] Modern compiler is not available - using classic compiler

BUILD FAILED

E:\src\tmp\DalBuild.xml:72: Cannot use classic compiler, as it is not
available

Total time: 5 seconds
E:\src\tmp>

I am using ant 1.2 and JDK1.3.0-C on both machines.

Any taker? Thanks

Dan

This usually means tools.jar is not in your CLASSPATH. The wrapper
scripts for Ant are supposed to make this happen automatically if your
JAVA_HOME environment variable has been set correctly.

Try comparing the exec paths on both systems.
