Problems with build engine and java_home

carlo gneo (96●9●4) | asked May 18 '09, 10:34 a.m.
Hi all, I'm a newbie and I'm trying to start the engine build in an Ubuntu platform.

I follow, step by step this document: https://jazz.net/learn/LearnItem.jsp?href=content/docs/client-tour/using-build.html

When I try to Request Build I have this error:

BUILD FAILED
/opt/IBM/TeamConcertBuild/buildsystem/buildengine/eclipse/fetched/HelloWorld/build.xml:28: 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.
It is currently set to "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.10/jre"

Total time: 0 seconds
Build failed. Exit value was 1.

I try to give the echo $JAVA_HOME and the response is

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.10/jre/

so I presume that the problem isn't the variable JAVA_HOME.

Has anybody faced similar problem?

thanks very much.

Hello,

Actually the probem seems to be your JAVA_HOME since it does point to a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) instead of a JDK (Java Development Kit)
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.
It is currently set to "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.10/jre

The difference being that the JRE contains all the classes neede to run a Java application at runtime, whereas the JDK contains additional tools only needed at build time (such as a compiler or generators)

In that case since your build engine is used to compile java code it needs to run with a JDK, not a JRE.
Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.


You need to install a JDK on your server and change the JAVA_HOME variable to reference it instead of the JRE.

Hope that helps,
Sebastien.

Hello cargne80,

aside from the other response it is possible to copy the JDK's JRA into the
Buildengine\eclipse directory as subdirectory jre.
Don't forget to create also a lib subdirectory and copy the JDK's tools.jar
there.
