Hi,

I am new to Eclipse. when I run a JSP file, the following error I am
getting, though I had set JAVA_HOME variable correct in the Windows.

"........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............."

Could anyone help me out.

thanks

There isn't much detail to work with here so I'm guessing you are using
a server that requires a Sun JDK instead of a JRE from Sun or some other
vendor. The Sun JDK includes tools.jar which contains a Java compiler
which the server needs to compile JSPs. The compiler in tools.jar is
executed using the com.sun.tools.javac.Main class, which isn't available
in your environment.

Cheers,
Larry

Hi,

Thanks for your advice. I got it by pointing the JDK installation dir in
the Eclipse for the Apache Tomcat Server. Previously, it was pointing to
the JRE.

Now, it is working.

thanks again
