Thanks for the blog posting. I had the same problem as you. I found a better resolution.
Open build.xml
Right-click the task in the Outline View
Select Run As->Ant Build…
Select JRE tab
Change Runtime JRE from a JRE to a JDK.
Voilà! It works.

Never occurred to me that the exec_dir wouldn’t be on the PATH. Was scratching my head over this one until I read this post…

@cheenujunk No problem. A big chunk of my traffic comes from searches like "eclipse javadoc failed: java.io.ioexception", which is kind of depressing, actually :)
