BUILD FAILED, javac not found?

[orclex]

Hello,
I have just downloaded the sources for jboss 3.2.3 and want to compile it (linux). But after calling build.sh the process stops with

<build.sh>
...
[javac] Compiling 203 source files to /downloads/jboss-3.2.3-src/common/output/classes

BUILD FAILED
file:/downloads/jboss-3.2.3-src/common/build.xml:186: 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


My JAVA_HOME points to
"/usr/local/java"
and this path contains the following folders:
bin
demo
include
jre
lib
man

"/usr/local/java" is the top-directory to my j2sdk1.4.2.
I can call java or javac myself and "which javac" gets
/usr/local/java/bin/javac

So why does build.sh not find my javac-compiler?
What have I to do?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

The tools.jar was not added to the classpath, however. So add the %JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar to the classpath and it schould work.

[orclex]

echo $CLASSPATH
/usr/local/java/lib/tools.jar:/usr/local/java/lib/:/usr/local/java/:.

Seems to be ok, but still doesn't work!
The paths and tools.jar exist, so this is not the reason.
What else could it be?

Hmm, which ant version have you installed ?

[orclex]

I'm using debian SID, so I'm using ant v1.5.4-3

I have tested it under Windows 2000 SP4 with j2sdk1.4.2 and it worked. I have startet the build.bat. This script uses the ant version within the tree.

I have tried it now under RedHat 9.0 with j2sdk1.4.2_02 from Sun and it compiled well.
$JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_02

I only started the build.sh in the build directory.

The created instance of Jboss works like a charm (only booting and web-console tested).
