windows 7 - Ant build not running in JRE 7 64 bit

Question

I'm using Windows 7, I use eclipse kepler and Java 7 and JRE 7(64 -bit).

My ant build is not running in this environment. I have set path and environmental variables. I have defined class path, ANT_HOME, my tools.jar is also available. But still when I run build.xml it says

mxml:
     Error: could not find JRE
      Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.
BUILD FAILED
D:\\build.xml:5: exec returned: 2
Total time: 945 milliseconds

JRE I defined is JRE 7. but how do I get this error? How is it pointing to JRE 2

What JRE is configured in the 'External Tools Configuration' from the ant build in the 'JRE' TAB? — Hank Lapidez, Dec 04 '14 at 13:17
@HankLapidez That's how you configure JRE for Ant, right? Look at the output, the JRE for ant is configured properly. — Scanner.js Receipt Invoice OCR, Dec 04 '14 at 14:16

Well, it's not Ant's fault since you execute another program using exec.

With little information, I guess you try to invoke mxmlc. You might need to set the Java runtime for it. According to MXMLC and 64bit JRE:

To do so, you'll need to edit the jvm.config file located in FLEX_HOME\bin. Within jvm.config, set java.home to the location of a 32bit JRE. If you don't already have a 32bit JRE, download it.

Example:

java.home=C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jre6
