Why can't Ant find javac?

There is the following build.bat file: 

echo off  
set JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25"  
set BUILD_CP="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin\lib\tools.jar";"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin";..\devlib\ant.jar;..\devlib\optional.jar;..\devlib\junit.jar;..\devlib\xercesImpl.jar;..\devlib\xmlParserAPIs.jar;  
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin\java" -classpath %BUILD_CP% org.apache.tools.ant.Main -buildfile build.xml all  

set BUILD_CP=  

pause

When I run it I get:

BUILD FAILED

file:D:/Development/Java/Frameworks/JMeter/TestDemoIbatis/iBATIS_JPetStore-4.0.5/build/build.xml:29: Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK

Press any key to continue . . .

But my JAVA_HOME, PATH is properly set:

Update:
The ant script: 

<project name="JPetStore" default="all" basedir=".">  

  <property file="build.properties"/>

What is the problem here? I am in Windows7/64-bit

Solution

  • This just worked for me:

    echo off

set JAVA_HOME="c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25"

set BUILD_CP=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;..\devlib\ant.jar;..\devlib\optional.jar;..\devlib\junit.jar;..\devlib\xercesImpl.jar;..\devlib\xmlParserAPIs.jar;

%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -classpath %BUILD_CP% org.apache.tools.ant.Main -buildfile build.xml all

set BUILD_CP=

pause

    Note that I had to change the build.xml to add the source=1.4 directive:

    <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${webapp}/WEB-INF/classes" deprecation="off" debug="${debug}" source="1.4">
