I ran the ShowProperties program and got: java.home: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_01 but my system variable JAVA_HOME is set to: JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_01 Now I am confused as to what is the 'home' for Java? Incidently I currently have 3 ext directories!!! C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_01\lib\ext C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_01\jre\lib\ext C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_01\lib\ext I think that I need only 1 (or is it 2). but which one(s) should I delete?
