That is wrong!

JAVA_HOME should indicate the *directory* where you installed the JDK.

It should *not* point to a JAR file.

This does not do a build.

That is not where the tools.jar is. It should be in the JDK directory. You have not installed 
the JDK. Why did you ignore the advice to install the JDK?

Absolutely not.

Once again, as everyone keeps telling you, READ THE DIRECTIONS!

Install the JDK. Point JAVA_HOME to where the JDK is installed, although it is not strictly needed. 
Keep the JDK command directory, where the "java" and "javac" commands reside, in your PATH.
This command directory will be a subdirectory of the $JAVA_HOME directory, if that environment 
variable is set, or what would be that directory if you don't set the variable.

Read the directions. Try following the advice you get here before asking another question.
