Taher Alkhateeb commented on OFBIZ-7534:
----------------------------------------
Hi Jacques and all,
Committed work in r1752125.
I am very happy to announce that I made a fix in the build script which handles the above error in Windows but also has multiple other benefits. I will explain below:
- Instead of a massive process name in the operating system (due to classpath) I created instead a jar that hides all this classpath away. This makes the command line process name much nicer
- I declared a dependency for all OFBiz server tasks on the build task to ensure building the jar mentioned above. Now any residual issues (executing multiple commands sometimes fail) are now resolved
This was difficult to implement mainly because of bugs I encountered in the Jar manifest. It was very tricky and after a lot of searching I realized that Jar manifests in windows have a weird syntax that we need to adhere to.
I am very happy also to report that all tests pass on windows and linux from my side.
