Regarding GROOVY_HOME environment variable:

I have JAVA_HOME set, and PATH set to use
";%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%GROOVY_HOME%\bin;" appended to the end (of PATH),
which, on the terminal, evaluates (?) out. That's all well and good.

Do I have the right files for Groovy? I think so, and I think I have
GROOVY_HOME and PATH to match those files. Yes?

What's up with the forwards and backwards slashes in the error message
from the JVM? There should only be backwards slashes in a windows
path, yes?

But which one is the error that you are ultimately worried about?

Assume it's the one I quoted above, I'd have to see how you were
attempting to load this resource. Need source code!

Someone with more experience than I may be able to guess, but I think it
would help.

Thufir,

If it's the one Mark pointed out, you're missing a "manifest" or you are
missing the "main-class" attribute in the manifest file.

Either way, there is no way for java.exe to know which lass to execute.

To make sure that's the problem, open the .jar file with WinZip (a jar has
the same structure as a zip file, so no problems there), and look for a file
called manifest.mf - check the contents of this file (if it exists).

Best regards,

JayCee

It was late at night, be kind! ;)

Pardon, here's a better description:

I want to run groovy (from windows). For example, "groovy
build.groovy", stuff like that.

I have no particular interest in this jar nor its manifest, I was just
exploring around and found that to be an odd *secondary* problem.
That's just what I downloaded from the groovy. I'm assuming that the
manifest is correct for whatever purpose the groovy developers put that
jar to (?). Let's please put that jar file and its manifest on the
backburner.

I downloaded the groovy zip file:

'This document describes how to install a binary distribution of
Groovy.

The latest release of Groovy is groovy-jsr-05.'
<http://groovy.codehaus.org/Installing+Groovy>

<http://dist.codehaus.org/groovy/distributions/groovy-1.0-jsr-05.zip>
unzips, and I put the contents into "Program Files."

Only when groovy wasn't working did I look at the groovy jar file which
I downloaded. I don't think that jar file nor its manifest have
anything to do with my difficulties, which I believe to be PATH
related.

That is, when I type "groovy" or "groovysh" or "groovy -version", etc,
I get an error about "NoClassDefFound," which I _interpret_ to mean my
environment variables are wrong.

However, as far as I can tell, the env var's are correct. ?

I'm not sure what's the problem there... but, I have a little idea:
could you please check what's in your GROOVY_HOME/lib folder? Make
sure there are the right versions of the jars there. Ideally, you
should trash everything that's in your GROOVY_HOME folder and unzip
the binary distribution again, and everything should be fine again.

It's a similar error, apparently env var related. ?

It's a bug with groovy. GROOVY_HOME doesn't work if there's a space in
the path as in, for example, Program Files.

It's a bug in groovy setup.

I was trying to investigate the error, and, inadervedantly, supplied
too much data, obscuring what I perceived as the problem. Sorry 'bout
that!
