Hi,

I found a bug when setting ‘Append to Library Path’ in
Window\Preferences\My Eclipse\Application Servers\Tomcat 5\Paths

When you are setting a windows path containing a space like for instance ‘C:\Program Files\eclipse\workspace\lambda\bin’, MyEclipse is not able to handle properly this space and when running Tomcat 5 server from MyEclipse workspace you have the following errors:

Could not find the main class. Program will exit.

And then

A configuration error occurred during startup. Please verify the preference field with the prompt: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Files\eclipse\workspace\lambda\bin Exception in thread “main”

Modifying directly this optional library path in C:\Program Files\eclipse\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\com.genuitec.eclipse.easie.tomcat5.prefs by the equivalent MS-DOS path (C:\Progra~1\…) solved the problem.

Eclipse Platform:
Version: 3.1.0
Build id: 200412162000

MyEclipse:
Version: 3.8.4
Build id: 200501171200-3.8.4

Regards,
Tom

Please provide your operating system and JDK version. This problem has been a hard for us to track down but your notes are very detailed and I hope will shed some light on why this happens on some machines and not others.

Hi Riyad,

OS: Windows XP SP2
JDK: j2sdk1.4.2_06

If this can help you here are the two outputs I have for com.genuitec.eclipse.easie.tomcat5.prefs:
With space in the library path (not working):
[…]
OPT_LIBRARYPATH1=C\:\\Program Files\\eclipse\\workspace\\lambda\\bin
LIBRARY_PATH=”C\:\\j2sdk1.4.2_06\\bin;C\:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 5.0\\bin;”C\:\\Program Files\\eclipse\\workspace\\lambda\\bin””
[…]

With MS-DOS path (working)
[…]
OPT_LIBRARYPATH1=C\:\\Progra~1\\eclipse\\workspace\\lambda\\bin
LIBRARY_PATH=”C\:\\j2sdk1.4.2_06\\bin;C\:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 5.0\\bin;”C\:\\Progra~1\\eclipse\\workspace\\lambda\\bin””
[…]

In both case the resulting library_path build by MyEclipse with the optional library path is clumsy but seems to work with a MS-DOS path.

Regards,
Tom

Tom thank you for the details, we will investigate this after we get 4.0 out the door and free up some dev time.
