Strange build error!

[thatprogrammer]

Hello All,
I am having a strange error when building robot files (any other programs seem to work).
This is the error message I receive BUILD FAILED
Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.
It is currently set to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_51"
Note that I am using the run as deploy button to build the code, despite not being connected to a robot.
Anyone have an idea what's going on?
Thanks!

Does it still give you the same error?

Actually, this is really strange. I just updated windows, and it now works. Wonder if Windows 10 was just not playing nice with eclipse...

I've ran into this problem many times and luckily I knew how to fix it every time it popped up :P

First make sure you have Java installed.

If you're sure you have it installed, assuming you're using windows, follow these steps:

Click the start button
Then right click computer
Click Properties
Click Advanced System Settings
Click Environment Variables
If you see JAVA_HOME, go to step 11, if not, click new
Variable Name = JAVA_HOME
Variable Value = <Location of your Java JDK> Without the <> (Usually something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25")
Click Ok
Restart Eclipse and You're Done!
================================================== =============

Click JAVA_HOME
Click Edit
Set variable value = <Location of your Java JDK> Without the <> (Usually something like "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25")
Click Ok
Restart Eclipse and You're Done!



I hope I could help :)

This is what worked for me way back when I had that problem iirc. Also, I don't think it's win10. I've got win10 and no problems.
