sth wrong after installing 1.4.2_03 [message #179564]

I'm using Eclipse 2.1.2 on Windows 2000 Professional. I was reading the
book Eclipse in Action from Manning and follow the examples to learn how to
use Eclipse. I met some problems but don't know how to quickly find a
solution.

Previously I was using JDK 1.4.2_02 ( I guess. Forget the exact version
number. ) which was installed at C:\j2sdk1.4.2. I was using Log4J and Ant
and they all worked fine.

Several days ago I uninstalled the previous JDK and installed JDK 1.4.2_03
at C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03. Then I found both Log4J and Ant cannot work correctly.

When I run the program from Eclipse, the following error is reported for
Log4J.

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger
(org.eclipseguide.persistence.FilePersistenceServices).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

When I run the Ant from Eclipse, I meet the following.

....

Compile:
....
[javac] BUILD FAILED:
file:C:/eclipse/workspace/Persistence/build.xml:38: 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
Total time: 1 second

But when I run Ant with the same build.xml with a DOS window, it works.

I would recommend starting Eclipse using -vm argument to ensure that Eclipse
is started using your JDK install at C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03.
It would appear that you are starting Eclipse using a JRE install.

If you are correctly using the JDK install already, to fix the Ant problem
ensure to include the tools.jar from your JDK install in your Ant runtime
classpath.

Thanks alot, Darin!

I run eclipse with -vm C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\java.exe. Then Log4J and Ant
are working now.

But there still will be a black DOS box when Eclipse is running. Any way to
remove/hide it?

It's so simple! But why will this happen? I think JRE is installed
together with JDK. But why can't Eclipse find the correct JDK path and has
to use the JRE path? Even when I run Eclipse with the -vm command line
parameter, the JRE_LIB Classpath Variable is still "C:\Program
Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\lib\rt.jar". Any way to change that?

Thanks again!

I've found the solution should be to add the tools.jar in the Additional
JARs for Ant.
If I remove tools.jar, Ant will not work even if I use -vm to start Eclipse
with JDK JVM.

BTW, to change reserved class path variables, go to menu Window ->
Preference, then Java -> Installed JREs. But this JDK JVM should be the
same as the JRE JVM since they are the same version 1.4.2_03.

Thanks!

use javaw.exe instead of java.exe

Ant is more than javac :-)
Ant needs and uses the tools.jar for the javac task (and possible other
tasks).
Starting Eclipse with the -vm arg to point to a JDK install allows Eclipse
to add the tools.jar to your Ant runtime classpath automatically.
