ANTBUILD : dx error : No suitable Java found. - Windows 7 specific

Workaround for now is to edit the "find_java.bat" file to force the "java_exe" 
path.

I'm unable to reproduce this issue on my Windows 8.1 machine. Others have also 
reported Windows 8 doesn't suffer from this issue too.

I'd gladly accept a patch if a user running Windows 7 can diagnose and fix the 
issue.

This appears to be the same VCTracker 32 vs 64-bit issue as: 
(https://code.google.com/p/vs-android/issues/detail?id=135)

There's two flavours of the find_java exe. One 32-bit and one 64-bit. I believe 
previously the Android SDK didn't do this, and there was just one 32-bit exe 
used to find the correct java installation. This is an issue that's only been 
noted in the last few weeks.

I was building project on Win7 x64, and it looks like a VCTrackter 32/64 (find_java64) problem. My workaround is forcing build tool version from 21.1.2 to older version(18.1.1). in file project.properties: target=android-18 sdk.buildtools=18.1.1
