I have completely followed Setting up the development environment for the react-native project, now when I am running the first app from Andriod studio run BUTTON it installs and runs perfectly. The problem comes when I run the command yarn react-native run-android it throws the following error:
info JS server already running
info Installing the app...
ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-15.0.1;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-15.0.1\bin;

My jdk path:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-15.0.1;
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-15.0.1\bin;
My question is:
If the jdk path is invalid then why it is running in android studio?
It seems the terminal caches the earlier environment variables.
Before moving ahead make sure you have already changed the correct path for JAVA_HOME.
Now, Open Visual code and close the terminal, and reopen it (ctrl + ~)
error should be gone
You should edit your path as "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-15.0.1" bin is not required.
To set JAVA_HOME
1-Search for Environment Variables
2-Under system variables click new
3-In the variable name enter JAVA_HOME, in the variable value enter the JDK path which is "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-15.0.1"
I was getting this error in flutter. I deleted the "JAVA_HOME" "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7" value that I wrote earlier in the system variables section under the environment variables menu. I ran the terminal again and ran "flutter doctor --android-licenses" in the terminal. Problem solved.
I am using javadoc doclets with gradle, so I need to use the package tools.jar, which is in the lib folder from the jdk (1.6.0_26 in my case).
The point is that gradle does not take it automatically, so I was adding that tools package to my libs folder, and then adding it to dependencies.gradle .
Now I want to take it directly from my JDK home into my dependencies.gradle. Is there a way to do that? I have tried the next in my dependencies.gradle:
compile files("${System.properties['java.home']}/lib/tools.jar")
But it does not find it while compiling.
I had this problem when I was trying to run commands through CLI.
It was a problem with system looking at the JRE folder i.e.
D:\Program Files\Java\jre8\bin. If we look in there, there is no Tools.jar, hence the error.
You need to find where the JDK is, in my case: D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11, and if you look in the lib directory, you will see Tools.jar.
What I did I created a new environment variable JAVA_HOME:
And then you need to edit your PATH variable to include JAVA_HOME, i.e. %JAVA_HOME%/bin;
Re-open command prompt and should run.
Found it. System property 'java.home' is not JAVA_HOME environment variable. JAVA_HOME points to the JDK, while java.home points to the JRE. See that page for more info.
Soo... My problem was that my startpoint was the jre folder (C:\jdk1.6.0_26\jre) and not the jdk folder (C:\jdk1.6.0_26) as I thought(tools.jar is on the C:\jdk1.6.0_26\lib folder ). The compile line in dependencies.gradle should be:
compile files("${System.properties['java.home']}/../lib/tools.jar")
I got the same error using Eclipse trying to execute a Gradle Task. Every time I run a command (i.e. war) the process threw an exception like:
Could not find tools.jar. Please check that C:\Program Files\Java\Jre8" is a valid JDK install.
I tried the solution listed in this post but none of them solved this issue. Here my solution :
Go to the "Gradle Task" view
Right Click on the task you want to execute
Select Open Gradle Run Configuration
In the tab "Java Home" select your local JDK repository then click OK
Run again, Enjoy!
I just added a gradle.properties file with the following content:
org.gradle.java.home=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_45
I had a similar case using Ubuntu. The machine had only the JRE installed. So, I just executed the command below to install the JDK.
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
In macOS Big Sur
The issue happens because of the environment variable JAVA_HOME is not correctly set in macOS Big Sur.
Step 1 - Confirm that you have issue with JAVA_HOME by printing its value in the terminal. You will most likely get an empty string.
echo $JAVA_HOME
Step 2 - Find the correct path on your machine
/usr/libexec/java_home -V
Copy that path associated with "Java SE 8" which usually looks like /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_202.jdk/Contents/Home
Step 3 - Edit .zshenv using nano
nano ~/.zshenv
Step 4 - Add the path from step 2 to the file as follows
export JAVA_HOME=YOUR_JAVA_PATH
example:
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_202.jdk/Contents/Home
Step 5 - Source the updated .zshenv file to activate the environment variable
source ~/.zshenv
Step 6 - Print to confirm the path
echo $JAVA_HOME
I was struggling as well for this Solution. Found a better way to it with Gradle as described here.
We can get the JVM/JDK information from Gradle itself.
dependencies {
runtime files(org.gradle.internal.jvm.Jvm.current().toolsJar)
}
So simple.
In CentOS7 the development package will install tools.jar. The file is not present in java-1.8.0-openjdk
sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
Add this to gradle.properties:
org.gradle.java.home=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_91
My solution on Mac:
add this line to gradle.properties:
org.gradle.java.home=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_271.jdk/Contents/Home
not this one:
org.gradle.java.home=/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home
you can open the last home directory and will find that there is no lib/tools.jar file existence, so change the path to JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_271.jdk and it works for me.
By the way, in the terminal, I echo the $JAVA_HOME and it gets the first path, not the second one, I think this is why my Gradle cannot work properly.
With Centos 7, I have found that only JDK has tools.jar, while JRE has not. I have installed the Java 8 JRE(yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk), but not the JDK(yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel).
Installing the latter solves the problem. Also, remember to set JAVA_HOME.
It may be two years too late, but I ran into the same problem recently and this is the solution I ended up with after finding this post:
import javax.tools.ToolProvider
dependencies {
compile (
files(((URLClassLoader) ToolProvider.getSystemToolClassLoader()).getURLs()),
...
}
}
It should work if java.home points to a directory that's not under the JDK directory and even on Mac OS where you'd have classes.jar instead of tools.jar.
On windows 10, I encounter the same problem and this how I fixed the issue;
Access Advance System Settings>Environment Variables>System
Variables
Select PATH overwrite the default
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
With your own jdk installation that is JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_162
On my system (Win 10, JRE 1.8.0, Android Studio 3.1.2, Gradle 4.1) there is no tools.jar in the JRE directory (C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_171).
However, I found it in C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\lib and tried setting JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre
That works (for me)!
What solved it for me was the following:
found tools.jar in C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\lib
copy paste to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_271\lib
ran the code again and it worked.
If you use terminal to build and you have this error you can point to jdk bundled with android studio in your gradle.properties file:
org.gradle.java.home=/usr/local/android-studio/jre
Linux
Open /etc/environment in any text editor like nano or gedit and add the following line:
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/open-jdk"
Windows
Start the System Control Panel applet (Start - Settings - Control
Panel - System).
Select the Advanced tab.
Click the Environment
Variables button.
Under System Variables, click add button, then past the following lines:
in Variable Name : JAVA_HOME
in Variable Value : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.x.x_xxx
where x.x_xxx jdk version you can get your jdk version from here C:\Program Files\Java
Under System Variables, select Path, then click Edit,then click new button then past the following line:
%JAVA_HOME%/bin;
This worked for me:
I was getting message
Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
Could not find tools.jar. Please check that C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_121 contains a valid JDK installation.
In Android Studio, check your SDK Location.
File, Project Structure, SDK Location, JDK Location.
Example: C:\android-studio\android-studio\jre
Copy the tools.jar file in the C:\android-studio\android-studio\jre\lib folder into the C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_121\lib folder.
Retry.
Like other answers I set org.gradle.java.home property in gradle.properties file. But path with \ separators did not work (building on windows 10):
Java home supplied via 'org.gradle.java.home' is invalid. Invalid
directory: C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_65
So instead of
org.gradle.java.home=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65
i had to use
org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_65
then the build was successful
Problem is that project is build with JRE instead of JDK and since I was building it from eclipse this also worked:
In Window>Preferences>Gradle>Arguments specify Workspace JRE and specify your JDK.
In Window>Preferences>Java>InstalledJREs specify your JDK as default
In my case (Windows 10) after Java update I lost my Enviroment Variables, so I fixed added the variables again, based in the following steps https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/setting-the-java_home-variable-in-windows-8895.html
I solved problem on this way:
download file tools-1.8.0.jar on http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/t/Downloadtools180jar.htm
unzip file and rename to tools.jar
copy to C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_191\lib folder
Retry
Put in gradle.properties file the following code line:
org.gradle.java.home=C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_45
Example image
Use this with modern versions of gradle:
def compiler = javaToolchains.compilerFor { languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(java.sourceCompatibility.majorVersion) }.get()
implementation compiler.metadata.installationPath.files('lib/tools.jar')
Did you make sure that tools.jar made it on the compile class path? Maybe the path is incorrect.
task debug << {
configurations.compile.each { println it }
}
Adding JDK path through JAVA_HOME tab in "Open Gradle Run Configuration" will solve the problem.
Could not find tools.jar
MacOS
echo export "JAVA_HOME=\$(/usr/libexec/java_home)" >> ~/.bash_profile
And restart Shell
I've tried most of the top options but it seems that I had something wrong with my environment setup so they didn't help. What solved the issue for me was to re-install jdk1.8.0_201 and jre1.8.0_201 and this solved the error for me. Hope that helps someone.
For me this error ocurred after trying to use audioplayers flutter library.
To solve i got tools.jar of the folder:
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\lib
and pasted on
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_181\lib.
After this the build worked fine.
My Android Studio Version: 4.2.1
The "tools.jar" is provided by Oracle JDK which is required by android studio for compilation - I have faced this issue after updating android studio to latest version in my PC.
To Resolve the issue follow below steps:
In Android studio File -> Project Structure -> SDKs (Under Platform Settings)
A) Add JDK path by pressing '+' symbol in middle pane if suppose JDK/JDK home path is not present in the middle pane already (Middle pane also contains the Downloaded Android SDK's)
B) Java sdk will be usually present/installed in the path 64 bit => "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.X.Y_ABC" (In my PC it is 1.8.0_202) or 32 bit => "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.X.Y_ABC"
If suppose you don't have JDK installed in your PC,
please download and install from Oracle Java website
https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html
Set JDK and JRE Path(Download both from webpage mentioned in step 2) in system environment variable
A) Press windows key type "Edit the system environment variables" and open the application
B) Go to Advanced -> Environment Variables Under system variables add JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME as below
Set Windows system environment variable
Add jdk lib path on the Path environment variable under user variables (this step is required only if the error not resolves with the previous steps)
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.X.Y_ABC\lib
For Windows add JDK home path to the Gradle property file as org.gradle.java.home.
If you don't have gradle.properties file then create a new one and add
Ex: org.gradle.java.home=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_241
I have this working and for a long time was all cool, then at some point it stopped working without me having touched it. I see this error:
ERROR building one of the platforms: Failed to find 'ANDROID_HOME' environment variable. Try setting setting it manually.
Detected 'android' command at C:\Users\Tower\bin but no 'tools' directory found near.
Try reinstall Android SDK or update your PATH to include path to valid SDK directory.
When I do echo $ANDROID_HOME I see:
C:\Users\Tower\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools;C:\Users\Tower\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\tools
which is correct and I have the android sdk. When I do echo $JAVA_HOME it shows:
C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_79;C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin
which is also correct. I have reinstalled both the Java JDK and the Android SDK. I am running this on Windows 10, X64.
In variable ANDROID_HOME must be only path to the root directory of android-sdk i.e. C:\Users\Tower\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk.
In JAVA_HOME also must be only path to JDK root directory i.e. C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_79.
This PATHs C:\Users\Tower\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools;C:\Users\Tower\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\tools must be in PATH System Environment Variable.
And this path to jdk bin directory C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin must be in PATH Environment Variable.
Edit:
PATH should include ; not :
My computer is Windows 8.1,x64.I download jdk 1.8.5_20 from oracle's website.When I had setted the environment variable,I open the cmd,input the "javac" ,It can't work! But "java" is successful...
I check my environment variable,It's .
So I input the "echo %java_home%" in cmd,I find there is a space before the string .
I think It must couse the error!
But I cann'r solve it!
I try any way ,such as typewriting.But cann't get a good result!
set path for java up to bin folder
eg: path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin;
see official java docs here
Open the default installation path for JDK
C:\Program Files\Java
go to below directory
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_10
Set the JAVA_HOME Variable
Right-click the My Computer icon on, your desktop and select Properties.
Click the Advanced tab. Click the
`Environment Variables` button. Under System Variables, click New.
Enter the variable name as **JAVA_HOME**.
Enter the variable value as the installation path for the Java Development Kit.
Click OK and Apply Changes.
I want to use elastic search with my PHP application.
after running service install command , I am getting fallowing error.
C:\elasticsearch-0.90.10\bin>service install
JAVA_HOME points to an invalid Java installation (no java.exe found in "C:\Progr
am Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin"). Existing...
Open up and Look into the service.bat file:
It searches for:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe
hence your %JAVA_HOME% should not include bin in it.
A workaround if you do not have privileges to set up the environmental variables:
open the service.bat file,
a) Remove the line:
if NOT DEFINED JAVA_HOME goto err
b) Replace %JAVA_HOME% with your java jdk path, something like: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51
Note: This is just a workaround which works all the time.
from your error message we can see your JAVA_HOME points to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin
while it should point to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_25
I think the error message is fairly descriptive , you should look in this folder
is java.exe there ? If not then your JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the correct installation
heres a page showing how to do that
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Setting+the+JAVA_HOME+Variable+in+Windows
1st hit on google.
Either JAVA_HOME points to the wrong location or you don't have Java installed. Check and see if there's an install of Java in the location specified.
Also note that the JAVA_HOME variable should point to the root of the Java install not the /bin folder. This is being added by the program you're executing.
To change the JAVA_HOME variable to test further use the following in the command prompt:
set JAVA_HOME=c:\xxxx
Once you've established the correct value to use this can be permanently changed in Control Panel>>System>>Advanced System Settings>>Advanced>>Environment Variables
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java
Above must fix the issue, I came across the same issue while installing the elastic search.
i gave a try by giving "bin" part of path but it did not work, so i just give the top folder "java" in path, it worked.
Just to add my own experience.
i was setting JAVA_HOME using tab autocompletion.
It ends up something like "C:\Program files...:" and it didn't work saying that it cannot find the java program. I solved typing the JAVA_HOME path in the set command without using tab completion. The problem was probably related to the " in the env variable
