Error while Building from SVN

[nicole.baz]

Hi,

I checked out the SmartGWT and SmartGWT Extensions from SVN into Eclipse. They are not showing up as a regular Java project. So, i am unable to compile and build from there. I need to extract the jar that includes the code for GwtRpcDataSource so i can use it in my project.

I installed Ant and i included the ANT_HOME in my variables and the JAVA_HOME as well. However the ant command is still not recognized and even when i use the whole path to run the ant, while in the smartgwt's directory, i am getting the following error:

C:\MyProjects\Development\Java\SmartGWT>C:\MyProjects\Development\Java\Ant\bin\ant
Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05\lib\tools.jar

com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.
It is currently set to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05"

What i don't understand is why it is looking for jre1.6.0_05 when my JAVA_HOME is pointing to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin instead. I tried the ECHO command to verify that.

Please help out if you know what i might be missing. Thanks in advance, Nicole

This is ant / environment related rather than a SmartGWT specific issue. Try passing in -verbose to the ant command line to see why its picking up the wrong location.

btw you can also pick up automated nightly builds. Details here.
