Error executing phonegap command cordova build

Question

I'm executing the command "cordova build" (After finishing the above settings, exemplified this link Phonegap The Command-Line Interface ).
But the note.js returns this error:

Generating config.xml from defaults for platform "android"
Preparing android project
Compiling app on platform "android" via command "cmd" /c
C:\\Net\\Phonegap\\hello\\platforms\\android\\cordova\\build
Error: An error occurred while building the android project.Error executing "ant" debug -f "C:\\Net\\Phonegap\\hello\\platforms\\android\\build.xml"":

com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.
It is currently set to "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7"

And my AndroidManifest.xml

</application>

It looks like you currently have the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. You need the Java Development Kit (JDK) . You can get that over at Oracle . Your path does appear to be set up correctly with %JAVA_HOME%\\bin . I believe once you install the JDK, your %JAVA_HOME% environment variable will be changed to something similar to: C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_52 . The version number might be slightly different of course.
