This is too wierd for me to let it go. Why does the build work on Win2K? Is
it not running the build.xtarget file in the ./tools/antipede directory?
See my prior email below. The location of tools.jar is wrong. I know it is
because I just tried to cd to this directory and find it this is what I
got:
C:\Java\j2sdk1.4.1_01>cd %JAVA_HOME%\..\lib
C:\Java\lib>dir
Volume in drive C is Local Hard Drive

The lib directory is one I created for jar files I use in my development.
There is no tools.jar file here, yet the build still finds it! Maybe I'm
missing something but what?

Subject: RE: POI build not working
Ok, You're all probably tired of me by now but I have another question
regarding the build. I got it working on my Win2K box and tried to port it
to my iSeries AS/400. What I've found (and I saw this on Win2K and couldn't
figure out why it works there) is that it seems like the location of the
tools.jar looks like it is improperly defined. I look in the
./tools/antipedebuild.xtarget file and see the following:
<property name="tools.jar" value="${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar"/>
<available file="${tools.jar}" property="tools.jar.present"/>
<fail unless="tools.jar.present" message="tools.jar not found. Probably
you are using the JRE and the JDK is not installed. Please download the JDK
from the Java Sun website www.javasoft.com ."/>
Why are we moving up a directory relative to java.home to find
/lib/tools.jar? This causes the build to fail and echo the failure message
from the fail tag because this is not where tools.jar resides. The funny
thing is this works perfectly on Win2K. Why? My Java_Home on the iSeries is
/QIBM/ProdData/Java400/jdk12. There are no spaces in the path. I know this
is the problem because when I change it to not move up a directory (I
remove the ../) I get passed this fail message.
Now I have another error that comes up when I fix the tools.jar path. I'll
just copy this to the bottom of this email. The same build package,
jakarta-poi-1.8.0-dev-src, runs without issue on Win2K but has various
bugs on the iSeries. Hmmm... does this mean the iSeries is less forgiving
than Win2K? Could this be a reason why Windows is so unstable? (That was a
joke, and honestly I have never seen the BSOD on my Win2K box. I don't
advocate Windows though.) Please someone help me with this.

Thank you everyone. I'm not sure if it was my downloading the zip again or
changing to a directory structure with no spaces. Anyhow, it seems to be
working now. Thanks a heap everyone!

I don't think you want the ant jar in your classpath. In fact, I build
on Windows with no CLASSPATH at all, and didn't have any trouble. The
build script sets up the necessary paths.
