Hello,

I have downloaded J2SE 5.0, development kit with NetBeans. I have also
downloaded ofbiz-trunk-current from http://build.ofbiz.org/

I was trying to execute ofbiz.jar(by double clicking in windows) but file
does not respond. It does not give either error or starts executing.

I have windows XP Pro.

Your help is really appreciated.

Thank you.

I did follow the suggested link and thats how I got J2SE 5.0, development kit with NetBeans and ofbiz-trunk-current.

But after that I am stuck. I am not able to move forward. .jar file is not executing. not showing error either.

Please help !

You don't have to execute a jar but a bat or sh script :

Start OFBiz with embedded Tomcat by going into the *ofbiz* directory and
then running *"startofbiz.bat"* (or "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -jar ofbiz.jar")
for Windows, or *"./startofbiz.sh"*(or "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar ofbiz.jar")
for Linux/Unix. For OS X you can just run "java -jar ofbiz.jar" and you
don't need to setup the JAVA_HOME or anything because it is already there.

In Windows if you want to see the error you'll have to run it from the  
command line and not just double-click on the executable jar file.

Running the startup script may be easier, depending on how you have  
Java installed. Windows is unfortunately not helpful AT ALL when  
trying to run Java applications, which is why this startup script is  
recommended.

I tried running ofbiz-trunk-current\ofbiz-trunk\startofbiz(batch file), but it does not execute, cmd prompt flashes for few seconds and goes away without executing the file and i dont get error either.

Please use rather user ML for such questions, see why here :
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/Mailing+Lists#MailingLists-DeveloperList:dev@...

Thanks

Jacques
PS : try startofbizNoLog to see what happens

On windows, I do the following and it worked on every machine here
* download jdk  ( note you need jdk not jre)
* set JAVA_HOME= <jdk folder>
* go to ofbiz folder
* ant build run

Don't need to specify build there, run already depends on it.

You do however have to do run-install once the first time.
