[AnthonyGeorge]

I am trying to build poolman a tool that u can use with tomacat it pools databse connections>

When I try to build the application I get the following error message:


C:\poolman-2.0.3\build>build
Buildfile: build.xml

init:

prepare:

compile:
[javac] Compiling 48 source files to C:\poolman-2.0.3\bin
[javac] Modern compiler is not available - using classic compiler

BUILD FAILED

C:\poolman-2.0.3\build\build.xml:49: Cannot use classic compiler, as it is not available A common solution is to set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to your
jdk directory.

Total time: 1 second
C:\poolman-2.0.3\build>

when I do this:

C:\poolman-2.0.3\build>echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:\jdk1.3

C:\poolman-2.0.3\build>

Why is ant throwing up this message.

Thanks for any help Tony
