When attempting to run ant I get the following message: “Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:Program Files (x86)Javajre6libtools.jar”
This had to do with my JAVA_HOME not pointing to a Java JDK.
So if you download a JDK and update your JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to that directory, ant should run happily.
In BASH:
export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk
IN DOS:
set JAVA_HOME=c:PATHtojdk
