             Summary: Classpath to long on windows running james with run.bat
                 Key: JAMES-1803
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1803
             Project: James Server
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Deployment Modules
    Affects Versions: 3.0-beta4
         Environment: Windows 10 Professional
            Reporter: Bernd Waibel
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 3.0.0-beta5


Running James3 with run.bat on windows will fail, cause the classpath may be to long. 

The run.bat is created with a CLASSPATH=... which has more than 8192 characters (currently about 10.000 when beta5-SNAPSHOT is used). These are too much characters for Windows cmd.exe (currently running on windows 10), cause the limit is 8192 characters.

When running "run.bat" you will get a message "command line too long".
This may get better, as soon as the "SNAPSHOT" Tag is removed from the .jar files. But this will occur again, if there are more other libs and projects.

A solution would be:
Use the feature of java.exe, which is acception a "*" as classpath, since Java6.

So I would recommend to use:
set CLASSPATH="%BASEDIR%"\conf;"%REPO%"\*;
instead, and not to generate the CLASSPATH.
