BUILD FAILED
C:\Hibernate\hibernate-3.2\build.xml:409: Cannot use classic compiler, as it is
not available. A common solution is to set the environment variable JAVA_HOME t
o your jdk directory.

It wasn't problem of JAVA_HOME environment variable, but the PATH variable.

After you installed Oracle 9i, it will automatically append the JDK location of Oracle (jdk 1.3.X) to the "PATH" environment variable.

Simply modify the PATH value, it should work fine.

To validate, you could try to run

in command prompt


Please rate me if it helps ^V^

No, it is not! It's looking for a jdk, a simple jre won't be sufficient.
You're sure you set JAVA_HOME to your jdk-location, not to the jre??
