OFBiz not runnin on Windows 10

[Michael Turner]

I've seen this problem reported, but not obviously fixed. I'm really
only interested in responses from people who have actually tried to
build OFBiz on Windows 10.

  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/commons/cli/ParseException
        at org.apache.ofbiz.base.start.Start.main(Start.java:60)
  Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.apache.commons.cli.ParseException

I'm not really familiar with Gradle and it's not at all clear to me
where java is being asked to look for commons-cli.jar. Why isn't this
dependency automatically fetched and put in the right place for java
to find it?

Here's what happens when I try to follow the instructions.

Most likely a space issue. Make sure there are no spaces in the path
where you placed OFBiz such as "C:\users\My User\ofbiz"

Have you been able to get OFBiz built on Windows 10? As I said in the
original message, I'm not interested in replies from people who
haven't tried.

As for what you consider "most likely" as the source of problems (an
embedded blank in the path), as you should have seen from the
Powershell prompt in the transcript

   PS C:\apache-ofbiz-16.11.05>

I'm building in C:\apache-ofbiz-16.11.05. I.e., I'm  NOT building a
directory with a name that has an embedded blank.

Hi Robin,

Did you try yourself at ofbiz.apache.org/mailing-lists.html ?

Hi,

It works for me on windows 10.
After 2 days of searching for solutions online,
from Turn windows feature on or off ->Windows subsystem for Linux->Restart and retry

Good luck!

[Jacques Le Roux]

Thanks Anna Maria,

That's really a good news.

Hi team, we need to document that further. I'll at least create an entry in the wiki FAQ.
