How to make the yuicompressor jar file a singleton, or globally accessible?
- by Erik Vold
I'd like to put the yuicompressor jar file in a single folder so that I can call
java -jar yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar ...
from anywhere on my system, with cygwin. For bash files I use I simply put them in a common folder, and added the folder's path to my windows user's PATH environment variable and the bash commands were found in cygwin.
when I echo $PATH I see the folder I put the yuicompressor jar into listed in the $PATH..
But when I try java -jar yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar ... I get the following error message:
Unable to access jarfile yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar
Even when I try providing an absolute path to the jarfile I get the same error message..
How can I do this?
