I pointed the JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7
It works fine. Afterwards, I unzipped ant and set up the environment variables related to Ant, I got the following error messages after typing "ant -version"
I searched this forum. Looks like one solution i to point Java to JDK instead of JRE. I am not exactly sure whether this should be the solution. In other words, in general, which one should JAVA_HOME point to JDK or JRE?
Simply (change to your jdk1.x.x.x_xx)
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05
