Really New to Ant - problem w/ set up.
I need Ant to work with a product called, "Thinkmap SDK".
Thinkmap works ok. It also has Ant in its SDK, but it is not installed. I am
using Windows XP pro.
I set ANT_HOME: C:\PROGRA~1\THINKM~1.5ST\PACKAGER\APACHE~1.1\BIN>
(DOS for C:\Program Files\Thinkmap SDK 2.5 Standard
Edition\packager\apache-ant-1.6.1\bin)
Without setting ANT_HOME I got error saying "ant" is not a commant...
When I start Thinkmap server, it says "Using JAVA_HOME:
C:\Sun\AppServer\jdk".
I copied my command.com (Windows XP) into C:\Program Files\Thinkmap SDK 2.5
Standard Edition\packager\apache-ant-1.6.1\bin
I get an error saying it cannot find "tools.jar" in C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.5.0_04\lib\tools.jar. The only tools.jar on my computer is
in C:\Sun\AppServer\jdk\lib\tools.jar. So I set JAVA_HOME to
C:\Sun\AppServer\jdk, but then the Thinkmap server complains that JAVA_HOME
is not set correctly.
Can someone help this very green developer?
Many thanks,
Arthur

The actual location of the SDK is not really a problem as long as JAVA_HOME
actually points to a Java Software Development Kit.
The fact that the mesage refers to C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.5.0_04\lib\tools.jar. makes me think that JAVA_HOME is set
to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_04".
Your JAVA_HOME points to a run-time only install (jre). That is likely why
you are missing bits that you need.
Redo the Java install but making sure that you get the SDK not the JRE.
The jre will be installed as part of the SDK but you want the JAVA_HOME to
point to an SDK not just a run-time.
Not a big problem (just a big download.) Ron

Yes, but it points to C:\Sun\AppServer\jdk

Did you download the java SDK from ww.java.sun.com?
JAVA_HOME needs to point to the java SDK which will likely be installed
under \Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04.

I should also say, "Using JAVA_HOME:C:\Sun\AppServer\jdk" is in the Thinkmap
server startup. When I set JAVA_HOME in "Environment Variables", Thinkmap
server gets an error saying JAVA_HOME is not set correctly - that is
Thinkmap server becomes unusable.
