Not able to start JBOSS

[ankush patni]

Hi All,
My self Ankush Patni.I have just started with EJB.I have downloaded and installed JDK1.5 and jboss-4.0.5.GA.And kept the jboss folder in program file.
Jae home is Local variable.
JAVA_HOME =C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09.

My problem is when i am runing the jboss from "C:\Program Files\jboss-4.0.5.GA\bin" i am getting the error


C:\Program Files\jboss-4.0.5.GA\bin>run
Could not locate C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09;\lib\tools.jar. Unexpected results may occur.
Make sure that JAVA_HOME points to a JDK and not a JRE.


can any one please help me out what is the problem

Ankush,

Welcome to JavaRanch

Could not locate C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09;\lib\tools.jar

What's the output of

echo %JAVA_HOME%

Is there a semicolon at the end of C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09? If yes, then remove the semi-colon. Also, it would be better if you install JBoss and even Java in a folder which does not have a space in its path. Instead of installing them in C:\Program Files\ you could install it in some other folder without a space in its path. There have been issues when the Java related applications have been installed in a path containing a space.
