Is there a file format problem with the JBoss Application Server 7 .bat files for Windows

[sav]

I have just downloaded the JBoss AS 7 - 7.1.1 Final ZIP for Windows and unzipped it.

I've been trying to edit the .bat files in the bin directory to set some different JVM values, but when I try to open the .bat files in notepad.exe they appear to be non-Windows format, as if they had been created on a Unix box and dont have appropriate CR+LF format.

Am I just doing something stupid here, or has someone posted a CR+LF stripped version of the AS up?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Best Regards

Steve

This was a problem and was finally fixed with https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4831 some weeks ago for 7.1.3 and 7.2.0.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your info.

I can only see 7.1 (and 7.1.1 Final specifically) as the latest release in the product downloads area, where do you get 7.1.3/7.2.0 from?

Thanks

Both releases are not yet released.

Further 7.1.x is marked as "EAP only". Which means that a build will not be available for download. You'll have to get the sources from github and build them on your own.

7.2.0.Alpha1 is scheduled for mid of August currently.

I need to check if the 3rd party product we are using is supported with versions later than 7.1.1, but I'm assuming it would be, so will go down that route.

Thanks again.

I finally fixed this problem by unzipping the files on a Unix box, then writing a script to convert the .bat files to have CR+LF instead of CR at the end of each line.

Problem is now resolved and I have JBoss AS 7.1.1 up and running and my 3rd party product as well.

Thanks again for your advice.

In the past I have also found that wordpad on Windows can correct issues like this (not sure if that is still the case in the later versions) but it would understand the alternative line ending and when you save it then wordpad would convert back to the windows line endings.
