            Bug ID: 55260
           Summary: Launch script fails under cygwin - suggested (simple)
                    tweak provided
           Product: JMeter
           Version: 2.9
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main
          Assignee: issues@jmeter.apache.org
          Reporter: charles.butterfield@nextcentury.com

When running under cygwin, the launch script "bin/jmeter" doesn't quite work
properly.  The problem is that the jar file path passed to Java is a cygwin
style path and needs to be converted to a windows style path (since java is a
native windows application).

I included a simple fix below, butof course there are many ways to accomplish
the same thing, not sure what your preferred conventions are.  One could also
use a similar OS test to include the MAC specific tweaks in one common *nix
launch script.

I did notice that invoking jmeter.bat seemed to properly launch, but I am loath
to change ALL of our testing scripts that launch jmeter in different was
depending on which *nix platform I'm running on.  I found it easier to just
tweak the primordal jmeter script.  I presume others would also benefit the
same way

Best regards

P.S.  Would it be useful to add CYGWIN as an OS-type for the bug reports?

One possible patch:

$ diff -c jmeter ORIG/
*** jmeter      2013-07-13 11:31:47.145846700 -0400
--- ORIG/jmeter 2013-07-13 11:45:32.882489700 -0400
