Issue/Introduction
After installing Plex 7.2.1 to a new Windows workstation and building functions in Java, the Java build process fails with the build error 'Error running javac.exe compiler' .
Environment
Release: Component: CPLEX
Resolution
Review the System Environment variable setting JAVA_HOME. The JAVA_HOME should NOT point to the Bin sub-folder of the JDK installation folder. For example, assuming it is the 1.8.0_172 version of the JDK: Should be: "C:\Program Files\Java\JDK1.8.0_172" Should NOT be: "C:\Program Files\Java\JDK1.8.0_172\bin"
