antjavapath-variables

I am using windows 7 java installed in Program files and Program Files (x86).
I am getting such error "Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\tools.jar

 I have set path variable to `C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51;`
 JAVA_HOME `C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51;`

But I tried ant -diagnostics command get java.home is C:\Programe Files\Java\jre7\

If you have installed Java Development Kit (JDK) you can find this Jar at the place.

I seems you have installed only Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

So if tools.jar is not there at the path C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\, try placing it manually at the path.It should solve your problem.
