Hi,

Juste downloaded 1.0-rc2 and tried to see what's wrong in Windows 98 support.

A few hints :

There is a workaround to check if a directory exists : just check the existence of a "NUL" file in it, i.e. :

if not exist %REPO_DIR%\dom4j\NUL mkdir %REPO_DIR%\dom4j

Creating intermediate directories is impossible. Use :

if not exist %REPO_DIR%\dom4j\NUL mkdir %REPO_DIR%\dom4j
if not exist %REPO_DIR%\dom4j\jars\NUL mkdir %REPO_DIR%\dom4j\jars

instead of just :

if not exist %REPO_DIR%\dom4j\jars mkdir %REPO_DIR%\dom4j\jars

It looks like some files are missing :

Tentative de tÚlÚchargement de commons-jelly-tags-velocity-20030303.205659.jar.
Tentative de tÚlÚchargement de velocity-1.3.jar.

Unfortunately, I am behing a proxy. So I get the following (normal) messages :

Error retrieving artifact from [http://www.ibiblio.org/maven//commons-jelly/jars
/commons-jelly-tags-velocity-20030303.205659.jar]: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

Error retrieving artifact from [http://www.geotools.org/gt2modules/extbin/common
s-jelly/jars/commons-jelly-tags-velocity-20030303.205659.jar]: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

Normally, adding to MAVEN_OPTS the following entries : proxyHost=xxxx proxyPort=yyyy would do the trick. Unfortunately the syntax :

SET A_VARIABLE=aKey=aValue

...is invalid on windows 98. However, I have a workaround for this if you like :-)

Hope this helps : Maven should definitely work on Windows 98.

p.b.

Environment: Windows 98SE

Description:
The install_repo.bat script tries to create directories in lines like the following:

if not exist %REPO_DIR%\dom4j\jars mkdir %REPO_DIR%\dom4j\jars

That is attempting to create the dom4j and jars directories in one fell swoop. But that does not work under Windoze 98 (DOS really). You can only create a single directory at a time.

Invoking mkdir /? under Windoze 2000 it looks like it is not guaranteed on NT based Windoze either. It says that it is only enabled if "command extensions" are enabled (whatever that means).

Here is the output of mkdir /?

Creates a directory.

MKDIR [drive:]path
MD [drive:]path

If Command Extensions are enabled MKDIR changes as follows:

MKDIR creates any intermediate directories in the path, if needed.
For example, assume \a does not exist then:

    mkdir \a\b\c\d

is the same as:

    mkdir \a
    chdir \a
    mkdir b
    chdir b
    mkdir c
    chdir c
    mkdir d

which is what you would have to type if extensions were disabled.
