Ant is looking in wrong directory despite having the correct environment variable set

I have my JAVA_HOME set to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_40; which is where it is located. When I run Ant I get this error.

C:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.9.2\bin>ant
Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\li
b\tools.jar
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed

The jre7 file and the jdk1.7.0_40 files are located right next to each other. Any idea what is going on?

Thank you in advance.

You need to run ant in the same directory as the build.xml file. Alternately, ant -f path/to/build.xml
