Ant Build Error - Unable to find a javac compiler

Question

I downloaded and installed the Sun Java Toolkit 1.0 for CDC. I can build and run the examples with no problem.
When I create my own project -- either by using the Create from Example option or the Create a New Project from Scratch option, I consistently receive this error message:
C:\CDCTK10\apps\JillianGolfHandset\nbproject\build-impl.xml:295: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\CDCTK10\apps\JillianGolfHandset\nbproject\build-impl.xml:148: 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
BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)
Unfortunately, I'm not an Ant jock.
I'd like to go fiddling with the JAVA_HOME environmental variable on my system, but something tells me I shouldn't have to touch it; why would the examples work if JAVA_HOME weren't set properly?
Any ideas?

Answer 1

I had the JDK installed and the JAVA_HOME set correctly to point to the JDK but it still gave the same error.
As I'm using Windows, I thought the problem may have been the spaces in the JAVA_HOME path, so I changed it to the old DOS style path e.g with the ~1. But that didn't work
Someone else suggested adding the JDK bin to the PATH, so I did that, but it didn't fix the problem.
Doing a search on the web, someone else using ANT had a similar problem, though not with the CDC, and added the tools.jar to the classpath
So I tried adding tool.jar to the classpath, and it worked !!
There is probably a better solution, but I couldn't find it, so I'll stick with this one until someone comes up with a better fix
