Maven Ant BuildException with maven-antrun-plugin ... unable to find javac compiler
- by robsbobs
Im trying to make Maven call an ANT build for some legacy code. the ant build builds correctly through ant however when i call it using the maven ant plugin it fails with the following error:
[
ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:1.6:run (default) on project CoreServices: An Ant BuildException has occured: The following error occurred while executing this line:
[ERROR] C:\dev\projects\build\build.xml:158: The following error occurred while executing this line:
[ERROR] C:\dev\projects\build\build.xml:62: The following error occurred while executing this line:
[ERROR] C:\dev\projects\build\build.xml:33: The following error occurred while executing this line:
[ERROR] C:\dev\projects\ods\build.xml:41: Unable to find a javac compiler;
[ERROR] com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
[ERROR] Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.
[ERROR] It is currently set to "C:\bea\jdk150_11\jre"
My javac exists at C:\bea\jdk150_11\bin and this works for all other things. Im not sure where Maven is getting this version of JAVA_HOME. JAVA_HOME in windows envionrmental variables is set to C:\bea\jdk150_11\ as it should be.
The Maven code that im using to call the build.xml is
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.6</version>
<executions>
<execution>
