ant javac ignores JAVA_HOME set

           Summary: ant javac ignores JAVA_HOME set
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.4.1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows 9x
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


sun jdk 1.3.1_02, installed under c:\jdk1.3.1_02 (default).
It comes with two java runtimes, one under "c:\jdk1.3.1_02\jre"
and another under "c:\program files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_02".

When called with just 
    set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3.1_02
    java -cp <...> org.apache.tools.ant.Main -debug
for a compilation task,
it keeps insisting that "java.home" is 
"c:\program files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_02".
While called with 
   c:\jdk1.3.1_02\bin\java -cp <...> org.apache.tools.ant.Main -debug
it insists that "java.home" is
"c:\jdk1.3.1_02\jre"
(note that I was calling the runtime as JDK_HOME\bin\java, 
not "JDK_HOME\jre\bin\java".

It seems that Ant is working out JAVA_HOME/java.home from the runtime
itself and ignoring the environment variable.

Same thing happens under cygwin with export JAVA_HOME.

The cure is as somebody else suggested in one of the previous
posts, make sure the classpath includes the real lib/tools.jar
under JDK_HOME.
