Phone Gap [error] cmd: Command failed with exit code ENOENT

Question

I am trying to get phone gap to work on android and my command outputs the following:

phonegap build android
[phonegap] detecting Android SDK environment...
[phonegap] using the local environment
[phonegap] adding the Android platform...
[error] cmd: Command failed with exit code ENOENT

When searching this error message I get a lot of hits, but everyone else seems to have much more verbose error messages, when this is all I get. Even with the -d or -v option that is what I get.

I am using Windows 7 x64

My PATH variable looks like this:

%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Roaming\npm;%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools;%ANT_HOME%\bin;C:\Program Files\nodejs;

%JAVA_HOME% , %ANDROID_HOME% and %ANT_HOME%

all lead to the correct places when I type them into my search bar.

Just typing "java" and "ant" into my command line gives me results.

Any ideas where I should start looking? Are there error logs somewhere?

If you are sure of yours paths try to type android in cmd if it says: 'xcopy' was not recognized.

then add to your path:

%SystemRoot%\system32; %SystemRoot%; %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;

I am not sure how this resolved the issue but try this out it will resolve for sure.

This is due to ANT tools could not find tools.jar in JRE lib directory. When I copied tools.jar from JDK lib directory to JRE lib directory. Restart the system and the problem was absolutely solved and the build was successful when I ran the command "cordova -d platform add android". Hope this helps you.

I'm using cordova and the following worked for me:

After this refresh eclipse acted a bit wonky just remove and add the project back again.
