ANT rmic task failing from Eclipse [message #94636]

Hi:

I'm trying to set up a project so that RMI *_Skel and *_Stub files are
generated automatically as part of a build, but I'm having a problem.
My environment is: OS - Win2000, Eclipse v. 2.1.1. I've created a test
project and defined the following build.xml file in it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="HELLO.makeremote" default="makeremote" basedir=".">
<target name="makeremote" description="Build _Skel and _Stub
files">
<rmic classname="examples.hello.HelloImpl" base="bin"/>
</target>
</project>

I've set this up as a project builder and it is being invoked as
expected, however I get an ant error from the rmic task. Here's the
output to the console

Buildfile: C:\Tools\eclipse\workspace\Hello\build.xml

makeremote:
[rmic] RMI Compiling 1 class to
C:\Tools\eclipse\workspace\Hello\bin
[rmic] BUILD FAILED:
file:C:/Tools/eclipse/workspace/Hello/build.xml:5: Cannot use SUN
rmic, as it is not available. A common solution is to set the
environment variable JAVA_HOME or CLASSPATH.
Total time: 671 milliseconds

My JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH environment variables look okay to me and
if I invoke ant from the Windows command prompt everything works just
peachy. It only fails when ant is lauched through Eclise.

Can anybody tell me what's going on here?

Do you have a tools.jar on your Ant runtime classpath?
(Window>Preferences>Ant>Runtime)
Starting eclipse using the -vm arg will allow Eclipse to automatically add
the tools.jar to your Ant runtime classpath.
The JAVA_HOME etc message is coming through from Apache Ant and are a bit of
a red herring.

An even better idea would be to use the RMI Plugin which automatically
runs the RMI compiler when needed.

You can download it from http://www.genady.net/rmi/
