I'm new in the ant world and have run into an issue involving the missing tools.jar file when I perform the ant -version command from a cmd prompt. I've reviewed most of the other postings and have not found a solution. I have installed jdk-8u60-windows-i586, and apache-ant-1.9.6. (the installations were done in this order) The Path includes both ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME variables ANT_HOME is set to the location folder where apache-ant is located JAVA_HOME is set to the location folder where the jdk is installed I've run a system scan for tools.jar and was unable to locate it

  • It's not the same issue. I didn't download the JRE files by mistake so the post noted does not solve my issue. – currcmpsvc Sep 25 '15 at 19:02
  • What is JAVA_HOME set to? – VGR Sep 25 '15 at 22:36
  • JAVA_HOME is set to the E:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_60 – currcmpsvc Sep 30 '15 at 14:05
  • I found this article: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19722058/where-to-get-the-tools-jar-to-use-with-the-java-8-jdk-early-release which indicated that if I don't find the tools.jar file in the JDK lib folder that the install was unsuccessful. I reinstalled the JDK and the file is now in the correct location. I then did an ant -version command at the command prompt and got the expected results. – currcmpsvc Sep 30 '15 at 16:04
