getting error, while adding android platform for phonegap

Today I started phonegap, as per documentation I am trying to setup my environment into my local machine.

In this process, I installed android SDK and set the environment variables in bashrc file.

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64
export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME

ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Git/adt-bundle-linux/sdk
export ANDROID_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME

ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
export ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS

ANDROID_TOOLS=$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export ANDROID_TOOLS
PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_TOOLS
export PATH

ANT_HOME=/usr/share/ant
export ANT_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$ANT_HOME/bin

I switch to my working director and getting the following error after ran the cordova platform add android

What happened to me was, that I had the openjre installed, but javac is actually part of the openjdk. Hope this helps someone.

I face the same problem let's do this javac -version then it show the available versions like 

The program 'javac' can be found in the following packages:
 * default-jdk
 * ecj
 * gcj-4.8-jdk
 * openjdk-7-jdk
 * gcj-4.6-jdk
 * openjdk-6-jdk
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

fallow that. I hope this is helps you.
