Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK

It took my 2 hours to setup JAVA_HOME even though it was setted up right. I changes the registry entries because on googling someone specified this as a solution.
But finally what worked was copying $JAVA_HOME\lib\tools.jar under $JBOSS_HOME\server\default\lib
So this post is for saving time for those who are also struggling with the same problem. Its worth giving this as your first try and I am sure it will take you through.
