ok, so I'm trying to build hibernate in windows.

here is my path:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\Program Files\OpenAFS\Client\Program;C:\Program Files\OpenAFS\Common;C:\Program Files\MIT\Kerberos\bin;C:\Program Files\SecureCRT\;C:\Documents and Settings\miller\Desktop\hibernate-3.0;C:\Documents and Settings\miller\Desktop\hibernate-3.0\lib;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\bin

here is my JAVA_HOME:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04

and here is the error i get:
BUILD FAILED:
C:\...\build.xml:196: Unable to find a javac compiler
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does nto point to the JDK


so the JAVA_HOME var points to the JDK, and I'm all out of ideas. Do i need to add the jar's individually?

thanks

Why not try to fix your system without trying to use Hibernate?

Quiant answer "Fix your system". I get the same error, but I can compile Java programs. The "build eg" fails. Any real clues?

Just curios to kow whether you did set the ANT_HOME env variable, and also the
java/bin and ant/bin into your path variable ???

I had a reference in the Path system variable that I needed to remove. I also had to add tools.jer to the 1.5 jre (from the 1.5 jdk). I also added the ANT_HOME to my PATH statement. Now I am left with this:

C:\files from basic 6\hibernate-3.0>build clean

C:\files from basic 6\hibernate-3.0>set JDBC_DRIVER=jtds-1.0.2.jar

C:\files from basic 6\hibernate-3.0>java -cp "lib/ant-launcher-1.6.3.jar" org.ap
ache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher -lib lib -Ddriver.jar=jtds-1.0.2.jar clean
Buildfile: build.xml
[taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource checkstyletask.properties.
It could not be found.
[taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource clovertasks. It could not b
e found.

cleantestdb:

clean:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 2 seconds

Build eg gives the same errors and says successful in 8 seconds.

Thats not an error, thats a warning. Ignore it if you don't understand it.

To do all this:

copy from Hibernate* dir
lib/antlr-*.jar
lib/junit-*.jar
files into ant*/lib

(0) Make sure your hibernate.properties in etc/ have been set properly. I believe this will allow hibernate to connect to the database...
e.g. for the "H2" Database, I've added this entry because it's not yet there.


For your database uncomment & modify the properties to the proper setting.

(1) To make a new Hibernate "jar" with your java class inside
make sure your place your .java file at the right place within:
e.g. for "H2" database place the H2Dialect.java (H2Dialect.txt) within dir
src\org\hibernate\dialect\H2Dialect.java

type/run "ant" at the Hibernate* dir
This should create a new Hibernate "jar" with your java class inside.
(It seems all the common database .java file is there, likely you do NOT need to compile & make a new Hibernate "jar" file)

(2) "ant eg"
To run this, copy the new or existing Hibernate "jar" into Hibernate*/lib dir
lib/hibernate*.jar

copy also your JDBC driver into the Hibernate*/lib dir
e.g. for "H2" database, the file is:
lib/h2.jar

now run "ant eg"

in my setting & database it runs ok.

(3) "ant info" - for hibernate-3.1.3 build.xml
it has a target "info"


This should display the properties within this build.xml...

Hope this helps.

Sorry double post this, connection to forum & this website is slow...
