Correct, as far as Ant is concerned, you should set JAVA_HOME to the location of the Java SDK. That assumes you want to use things from tools.jar . If you were using a different compiler, e.g. jikes or jdt, you might get by without tools.jar and thus JAVA_HOME could safely point to a JRE. But for normal out-of-the-box Java Ant builds, point JAVA_HOME to the SDK.
