Hi,
I have been trying to use eclipse (Helios) to compile ImageJ on a
Windows 7 machine.  I imported the project from the source using the ant
build.xml file. I can get ImageJ to compile (both 64 bit and 32 bit
versions), but it won't compile my plugin.  This is the whole point of
my compiling ImageJ from source, to be able to use eclipse in the
development of my plugin.

I add tools.jar as an external jar file.

I get different errors depending on if I am using 64 or 32 bit tools and
JDK.  Lets stick to 32 bit for now.

I get this message:
Unable to find the javac compiler...
Java.home:C:\Program files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_23\jre

(Note that I changed the default jre in eclipse to the jdk jre)

Of course the javac compiler really is there in jdk1.6.0_23\bin
Maybe com.sun.tools.javac.Main should be com.oracle.tools.javac.Main??
(nope)

Can anyone help?
