ANT could not find home… variables

I was tring to compile scoop using the “ant package” command when I ran into the following error:

Error:

Could not find or load main class org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher

Debug:

ant –execdebug

exec “/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_79//bin/java” -classpath “/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: JVM_LIBDIR /usr/lib/jvm-exports/jdk1.7.0_79 does not exist or is not a directory:/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: JVM_LIBDIR /usr/lib/jvm-exports/jdk1.7.0_79 does not exist or is not a directory:/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_79//lib/tools.jar” -Dant.home=”/usr/share/ant” -Dant.library.dir=”/usr/share/ant/lib” org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher -cp “”
Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher

Quick fix:

Missing directory, create an empty one.

             mkdir /usr/lib/jvm-exports/jdk1.7.0_79
