when you do a java -version you are seeing 1.6 sdk?
can't use less than 1.5

1.6 JRE or SDK

I have the java sdk installed under C:\Program Files\j2sdk1.4.2_16
and the path pointing to bin director, same with ant etc

question - i have been trying to understand this svn. to me it seems as though the trunk is where most on going changes happen and hence is the least stable. from what i understand, I should actually be using the branch/release 4.0 as this has fewer problems hence more stable.

so to clear up the confusion here:
rather than using http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk/ through svn i should be using, say
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/branches/release4.0/
when doing the svn checkout if all i want is to build and run for the first time....

on the other hand might it be a whole lot easier to go and get opentaps for an introduction to ofbiz - i.e. without going through the svn - ant - build - run process.

The path you are referring to is a 1.4 sdk.

Ok you java -veriion says 1.6
so you are not using the 1.4 folder.
look in the program files for java folder
or do a search.

Many thanks for all your help, the problem is now solved

I had many crossed confilcts with differnet java packs / run time environments and complilers etc etc etc etc

my suggestion, actually what i did for others having the same problem....

this all started with not knowing which java developers pack to use so the first search done was the line that was followed.

wrong.... the current version of java is 1.6 thereabouts. try to find the pages that only mention this version.

because i downloades an olderversion which was in the path variable, new version downloads and installs were not effective.

hence... i took drastic action, flying blind i believe it is called. simply put i uninstalled every thing under controll panel win xp that mentioned java. runtime environments etc.....

then i installed the one package only i.e version 6 aka '1.6' se sdk the se seems important --- standard edition.

tears of joy followed when it all started to work correctly.

now the task is to try and understand how this is all built. ????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks again

matt
