Cannot Start AS7.1.1 server with a space in path using JBoss Tools

[darrenjones]

Hello,

I have a 7.1.1 server installed in "F:\My Servers\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final" (note the space in the path).

It starts just fine using the standalone.bat file within that folder. But if I try to start the server from within Eclipse using JBoss Tools (3.3.0 Beta 3), I get this error in the console:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: F:/My

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: F:.My

Exception in thread "main"

Is this a bug?

yes that look very much like a bug - could you open one in https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE and please see if you can copy/paste the full command line generated into the jira so we can check it.

Thank you for the quick response - I've raised a bug (hopefully correctly - not done one before):

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12001

[maxandersen]

yes, it all looks good. thank you!

btw. just to verify - things works fine for you if running AS from a dir without spaces,  correct ?
