Rob -
Thanks for the quick response. Good news, I see
the bug. (I'm a Java developer, too...which is why
I ran into this bug.)
I have a (non-empty) CLASSPATH variable set. (It points
to some JDBC-driver jars, but that alone is NOT the bug.)
The bug happens when ones CLASSPATH is NOT terminated with
a trailing ';' character. So, my workaround was simply to ADD a
trailing ';' character on the end. (I'm betting the same thing
would happen on Linux.)
For example, if ones has their
CLASSPATH=.\
then squirrel won't start. But, if it is
CLASSPATH=.\;
then squirrel is happy.
So, I think if your code is fixed to handle BOTH cases, no
one else will run into the problem.
[Either that, or else just tell everyone who sees the problem
to append a ';' to their path. :) ]
Cheers...

Dave,
It is possible that the most recent change to squirrel-sql.bat - which
computes
the SQuirreL location dynamically - is not working on your platform.
I use WinXP
(Home) and it works. I've attached a modified form of
squirrel-sql.bat (renamed as
squirrel-sql.bar) which simply prints a couple of environment variables that
we
set in the script.
Do this:
1. Replace the squirrel-sql.bat file in your local installation with
the one I've attached
2. Open a command prompt and cd to the dir where squirrel-sql.bat is
3. Run squirrel-sql.bat
You should see something like this:
SQUIRREL_SQL_HOME=C:\tmp\squirrel2.2final
TMP_CP="C:\tmp\squirrel2.2final\squirrel-sql.jar";"C:\tmp\squirrel2.2final\l
ib\commons-cli.jar";"C:\tmp\squirrel2.2final\lib\forms.jar";"C:\tmp\squirr
el2.2final\lib\fw.jar";"C:\tmp\squirrel2.2final\lib\log4j.jar";"C:\tmp\squir
rel2.2final\lib\nanoxml-2.1.jar"
Copy what you get and send it to me.
Rob
