Ant requires the JDK's tools.jar (1.2+) on the classpath for all tasks that wrap JDK tools (<javac>/<javah>/etc...). ant_home\bin\ant.{bat|sh} normally takes care of that. If you start Ant yourself, read the doc on how to start it yourself.
Also, put JARs in jre/lib/ext is not the best way to go, unless you really understand the way classloaders work. Definitely not recommended... --DD -----Original Message----- From: Peter Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 1:39 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: Where to put ant.jar? I have ant.jar in \ant_home\lib and my extension \java_home\jre\lib\ext But I got his warning. BUILD FAILED file:build.xml:33: Unable to find a javac compiler; com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
