[Soot-list] building Soot in Eclipse -- javac not found

[Eric Bodden]

Hmm, I think your Eclipse is configured wrong. Usually the ant
implementation in Eclipse looks for javac at the location of the JRE
that is set within the run configuration for the build.xml that you use.
So I guess that your run configuration must be somehow wrong. (Don't
tamper around with the environment variables but rather with the JRE
configuration there.)

I never had any problems with this and I am building Soot with Eclipse
on Windows and Linux.
