Unable to run ejbc from within eclipse

[Premil Jacob]

I have eclipse version Version: 3.0.1 , but every time I try to run the following weblogic ant task

<target name="deploy" depends="startup">
<ejbjar descriptordir="${config}" srcdir="${dest}" naming="ejb-name">
<weblogic destdir="${deploy}" ejbcclass="weblogic.ejbc" />
<exclude name="weblogic*.xml"/>
</ejbjar>
</target>

I get the following error message.

[ejbc] Compiler class: 'com.sun.tools.javac.Main', not found
[ejbc] java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.tools.javac.Main

When I try to run the same ant task from the command prompt, it seems to be working fine.

Try adding compiler="javac". Here's what that one line looks like in our build file:
<weblogic destdir="${compiledEJBs}" suffix="EJB.jar" ejbcclass="weblogic.ejbc" compiler="javac" >

I only run it on the command line, but I get the error (Compiler class: 'com.sun.tools.javac.Main', not found) if I take out compiler="javac".
