Ok,
  I have been using Java for sometime but only recently switched to
using ANT to build my projects outside of the netbeans IDE. I am now
running into an error message that follows:
Buildfile: build.xml

init:

jjtree:

javacc:

compile:
    [javac] Compiling 1 source file to C:\unzipped\jep-2.24\build
    [javac] Fatal Error: Unable to locate package java.lang in
classpath or bootclasspath

BUILD FAILED
file:C:/unzipped/jep-2.24/build.xml:82: Compile failed; see the
compiler error output for details.

Total time: 1 second

I have read the ant manual and I have ANT_HOME, CLASSPATH and
JAVA_HOME set.
ANT_HOME is set to the top level directory : c:\JTools\ant
JAVA_HOME is set to the top level directory : c:\JTools\jdk
CLASSPATH is a bit longer but includes the %ANT_HOME%;%CLASSPATH%
variables and they are correctly (well, I thought correctly) set to
the directories with appropriate jar files on the path. Can anyone
tell me or point me to a solution?
TIA.

-John
