Windows source installation

I've discovered that, when running James 2.1.2 on a Windows machine,
unpacking the src zip into the james-2.1.2 directory breaks the environment
(this answers a problem I brought up last week). Before unpacking the
source, run.sh executes normally. After unpacking the source, run.sh throws
a series of exceptions stemming from a ClassNotFoundException when trying to
load File_Persistent_Stream_Respository.class. How can unpacking the source
into the james directory break the environment like this? I am not
overwriting anything when I unzip the archive.

Yeah, I meant run.bat. Sorry. I'm running this on both Linux and Windows.

So I want to unpack the binary distribution into the dist/ directory of the
source tree? Works for me. Thanks.

run.sh is for POSIX-type systems, not Windows.  run.bat is for Windows.

You should not be unpacking the source distribution over top of the binary
distribution.  The proper directory structure would be:

   src-package/
              dist/
                  bin-package/
               src/
               ...

I haven't looked to see what else might be going on.  One thing you can run
into with Windows are path limits.
