ant: Modern compiler is not available

[Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>]

  Hey gang. I just started using ant and can't compile anything.
  Unfortunately, Stefan can't reproduce the following. Perhaps one of
  you has seen this and found the fix...

  I have the j2sdk1.3 package installed which populates both
  /usr/lib/j2re1.3 and /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3; I've set JAVA_HOME to both.
  I've also made the link to tools.jar in /usr/share/ant/lib per ant's
  README.debian, all to no avail. Any other suggestions greatly
  appreciated.

    Buildfile: build.xml

    compile:
	[javac] Modern compiler is not available - using classic compiler
	[javac] Compiling 1 source file to /tmp/hello

    BUILD FAILED

    /tmp/hello/build.xml:3: 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: 3 seconds

    Compilation exited abnormally with code 1 at Mon Feb 25 17:59:21
