This may well be true.

However, the question is why it is not finding javac in
$JAVA_HOME/bin, while it is clearly present there?

My guess is, it may be because earlier memory allocation failed, and
there was garbage somewhere in memory, that confused ant about javac
location.

So, there may be hope in resolving the weird javac error by resolving
the memory allocation problem. Having googled related issues, I was
not been able to find any solution to this, so I am just not going to
use that particular system with svn Swift. This is not critical right
now, I was just wondering if this is an issue known to the community.
