I have tried everything I can think of and I still get the following error:
Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\PROGRA~2\Java\JRE16~1.0_0\lib\tools.jar
I have the following installed:
- Latest build of the Android Exporter extension
- Android 3.2 (API 13)
- JDK 1.7.0_0.1
- JRE 7
In my Preferences I have the path for JDK set to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_01.
If you don't have all of the API's installed, I would install em all to make sure its not a API problem, not just 13
I thought to use the Android Exporter you can't have any of the APIs above 13 installed?
You have to install some above 13. I personally have them all installed.
I've updated all of the Android SDK. Updated to the latest of 4.0.3 (API 15). I still get the same error when trying to build a simple test app.
It is acting like the Java folder is set to Java\JRE~1.0_0 instead of Java\jdk1.7.0_01Quote:

Why, I don't know. It did the same for me. I just renamde the JDK folder to the folder it expected the JDK to be in and it worked for me perfectly after that.
I discovered that there was no tools.jar in that folder. I copied tools.jar from another java folder that is installed in c:\progra~1. I tried to compile and got an error, but a different one.
BUILD FAILED
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools\ant\build.xml:651: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools\ant\build.xml:672: Error running javac.exe compiler
You need to have API 13 in particular installed, or else it won't work.
Like I said, again, the folder it's looking for is wrong. So all of the compiler tools aren't going to be there. Rename your JDK folder to the folder it's looking for, it's the only workaround I know of. *shrug*Quote:

I found an article about creating an environmental variable (http://antaraala.wordpress.com/2012/...ing-eclipse-2/). So, I did most of what solution #2 states. However, there was already an environmental variable called JAVA_HOME. The problem is that the path was set to... *drum roll* C:\PROGRA~2\Java\JRE16~1.0_0.
The actual directory is called JRE16~1.0_0.7. So, I edited the JAVA_HOME variable to the correct path. Voila! I start up MMF, open my test droid file, compile it... MMF asks me about my SDK, I click the correct directory, and everything compiles. So I guess another solution is to either rename the folder as you stated or correct the problem, which is possibly an incorrect JAVA_HOME environmental variable. While your solution does work I was determined to figure out what the heck was causing it.
You can still have API 14 and 15, it's just you need API 13. API 14 and 15 won't make any difference in using MMF2 to make Android apps, though, as it doesn't use them (it might use them in the future though).
I'm glad you got it working, I renamed the folder to the original name and applied this fix as well. Thanks for doing the research.
You're welcome. :)
