[jira] Commented: (CONTINUUM-231) Spaces in PATH env variable stop plexus.bat from running

["Mark Gaylard (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-231?page=comments#action_42856 ] 

Mark Gaylard commented on CONTINUUM-231:
----------------------------------------

Also - on a slightly related note, the getting started page says you run plexus with the command

 bin/plexus.bat ..\conf\plexus.xml

this should just be

bin\plexus.bat

> If the PATH environment variable has spaces in it, you get NoClassDefFound exceptions when running plexus.bat.
> The solution is to put quotes around the -Dplexus.system.path=%PATH% segment of the startup command.
> ie: 
> %PLEXUS_JAVA_EXE% %PLEXUS_OPTS% -classpath %PLEXUS_HOME%\core\boot\classworlds-*.jar "-Dclassworlds.conf=%PLEXUS_HOME%\conf\classworlds.conf" -Dplexus.core=%PLEXUS_CORE% -Dplexus.system.path=%PATH% -Djava.io.tmpdir=%PLEXUS_TMPDIR% -Dplexus.home=%PLEXUS_HOME% org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher %PLEXUS_CMD_LINE_ARGS%

> %PLEXUS_JAVA_EXE% %PLEXUS_OPTS% -classpath %PLEXUS_HOME%\core\boot\classworlds-*.jar "-Dclassworlds.conf=%PLEXUS_HOME%\conf\classworlds.conf" -Dplexus.core=%PLEXUS_CORE% "-Dplexus.system.path=%PATH%" -Djava.io.tmpdir=%PLEXUS_TMPDIR% -Dplexus.home=%PLEXUS_HOME% org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher %PLEXUS_CMD_LINE_ARGS%
