I have a real mystery and cannot find the solution anywhere I have looked
(including the Ant FAQ).
Summary: When I run Ant, it looks somewhere other than JAVA_HOME for the
java directory.
I am running Ant on Windows XP to execute a NetBeans-generated build.xml.
One step I have tried has been to run
ant -diagnostics
Which confirms that java.home is located somewhere other than JAVA_HOME (not
even in the same directory tree).
Here is my question: How can I change the value of java.home for ant?
What .properties file do I have create? Why does ant ignore it if I type
ant -Djava.home=%JAVA_HOME% -f mybuildfile.xml
I was expecting to override the java.home there but it didn't happen.
I am left rather puzzled.
