Can't start continuum --------------------- Key: CONTINUUM-329 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-329 Project: Continuum Type: Bug Versions: 1.0-alpha-4 Environment: tested with 1.0-alpha-4 and a daily snapshot Win XP JDK 1.4.2 Reporter: Arnaud Heritier Fix For: 1.0-beta-1 Attachments: CONTINUUM-329.log When I launch plexus.bat I receive the error : C:\Programs\dev\continuum-1.0-alpha-4\bin>plexus.bat Usage: java [-options] class [args...] (to execute a class) or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...] (to execute a jar file) .... I attached the full log with echo enabled. My problem comes from the fact that my path ends with a \ : -Dplexus.system.path="C:\Programs\dev\php-4.3;C:\Programs\dev\svn\bin;C:\Programs\db\oracle\ora92\bin;C:\Programs\web\PuTTY;C:\Programs\dev\j2sdk1.4.2\BIN;C:\Programs\dev\apache-maven-dev\BIN;C:\Programs\dev\apache-ant-1.6.5\BIN;C:\Programs\dev\WinCvs1.3\CVSNT;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WBEM;C:\PROGRAMS\DEV\TCL\BIN;C:\PROGRAMS\DEV\PYTHON23\.;C:\Program Files\Fichiers communs\Roxio Shared\DLLShared;C:\Program Files\Bureautique\UltraEdit;C:\Programs\dev\WinCvs1.3\CVSNT;C:\Program Files\System\Support Tools;C:\Program Files\Support Tools\;;C:\Programs\dev\maven-2\bin;C:\Programs\dev\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\Program Files\Fichiers communs\Adobe\AGL;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\" If I change my path with : -Dplexus.system.path="C:\Programs\dev\php-4.3;C:\Programs\dev\svn\bin;C:\Programs\db\oracle\ora92\bin;C:\Programs\web\PuTTY;C:\Programs\dev\j2sdk1.4.2\BIN;C:\Programs\dev\apache-maven-dev\BIN;C:\Programs\dev\apache-ant-1.6.5\BIN;C:\Programs\dev\WinCvs1.3\CVSNT;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WBEM;C:\PROGRAMS\DEV\TCL\BIN;C:\PROGRAMS\DEV\PYTHON23\.;C:\Program Files\Fichiers communs\Roxio Shared\DLLShared;C:\Program Files\Bureautique\UltraEdit;C:\Programs\dev\WinCvs1.3\CVSNT;C:\Program Files\System\Support Tools;C:\Program Files\Support Tools\;;C:\Programs\dev\maven-2\bin;C:\Programs\dev\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\Program Files\Fichiers communs\Adobe\AGL;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE" It works. To prevent this you can add do something like : -Dplexus.system.path="%PATH%;." -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
