Resolved or not, this is still an issue, because the error shouldn't happen in 
the first place. Plus, the installation asks where the JDK is installed; yet, 
it doesn't seem to use this information. Instead, it's looking for the JRE? Fix 
this, please!

I am running Win7 also and I get the same problem, when I type cd %JAVA_HOME% I 
get taken to the /bin for the JDK, but still ant looks for it in the JRE7 /lib 
folder. Even after I set it to look in the JDK /bin folder in the install.

I'm having this issue too. I've got JDK and JRE installed with the %JAVA_HOME% 
variable set to the JDK, but WinAnt seems to ignore that and look in the JRE 
folder instead for tools.jar

it becomes very lame.. but.. i have the issue too on my Win7 -.- i'm wondering 
why the winant team is not using the information given in the setup, and i'm 
still more wondering, how this issue is still not fixed after more than 6 
months..

quick and dirty fix that worked for me:

copy that damn tools.jar from your jdk folder into the jre-folder that winant 
is using..
