    Hello!

    I've added Unity Ads using this tutorial

    It showed the ads (testing turned on) in the Game View and basically everything worked well.
    But after building I got this message "Failed to recompile android resource files. See the console for details.".

    So I tried to add Unity Ads using a more professional tutorial made by Unity

    And I get the same error.

    Before these Ads, I could build without any error.

    These are the console messages:

    CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to recompile android resource files. See the Console for details.
    E:\Java\bin\javac.exe -bootclasspath "C:/Users/Cristi/AppData/Local/Android/sdk\platforms\android-23\android.jar" -d "E:\Rolling\Rolling\Temp\StagingArea\bin\classes" -source 1.6 -target 1.6 -encoding UTF-8 "com\cizmar\tdba\R.java" "com\unity3d\ads\android\R.java"
    stderr[
    Error: Could not find or load main class com.sun.tools.javac.Main
    ]
    stdout[
    ]

    UnityEditor.HostView:OnGUI()

    and

    Error building Player: CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to recompile android resource files. See the Console for details.
    E:\Java\bin\javac.exe -bootclasspath "C:/Users/Cristi/AppData/Local/Android/sdk\platforms\android-23\android.jar" -d "E:\Rolling\Rolling\Temp\StagingArea\bin\classes" -source 1.6 -target 1.6 -encoding UTF-8 "com\cizmar\tdba\R.java" "com\unity3d\ads\android\R.java"
    stderr[
    Error: Could not find or load main class com.sun.tools.javac.Main
    ]
    stdout[
    ]

    Can somebody help me?

    Haven't seen this. Can you please report a bug using the "Help->Report a Bug" menu item and write the bug id here? (not the full url) You should get the id in mail within ~10 mins after you submit the bug.

    Thanks,
    Rasmus

    For anyone having the same issue: Make sure to download the latest JDK and go to Unity-> Preferences-> External Tools -> then for the JDK path, click browse to relocate your HOME path that of the JDK you just installed,
