 FAQ-O-Matic : JBuilder 5 General :
I've just installed JBuilder 5 Enterprise on an NT 4.0/SP6 Workstation which already has JB3.5 and JB4.0 installed. When I try to launch JBuilder via a command line, I get the java command's own -help output, and JBuilder itself doesn't launch. JB4 and JB35 stil run just fine. What's wrong? |
| In one case, the machine had a disused installation of VSS on it which JBuilder 5's installer detected and configured in jbuilder5/JBuilder.config:
# Specify location of Visual SourceSafe and Database vmparam -DVSSLocation="E:\VSS\win32" vmparam -DVSSCurrentDBase="\\VSSServer\VSS\"
Since VSS is no longer used, these settings are invalid. Edit JBuilder.config and comment out the two vmparam lines above. JBuilder should launch.
| |
| In another case, the installation itself had failed to complete, leaving the bin directory incomplete or empty.
For this situation, open the JBuilder 5 cdrom, setup folder, and read the setup_windows_alt.html file with your brower. It contains an alternate method of installing JBuilder 5 which bypasses the auto-launched master installer and takes you through launching the individual installers separately. (JBuilder Enterprise consists of multiple installers, one for Foundation features, one for Enterprise features, one for documentation, and one for samples/tutorials.)
| |
| Also, the VSS settings displayed above contain one drive-letter form, and one UNC form. Java does not handle UNC paths at all, so the "java" command itself pukes on the UNC path on the command line.
Convert any UNC paths in your VSS setup to drive-letter paths and edit the JBuilder.config file to reflect the change.
If you don't want or need to use VSS from within JBuilder (IE you won't be using the TEAM menu) then you can comment out or delete the VSS-related settings in the JBuilder.config file.
