how to invoke java.exe in bash under windows in cygwin with space in path
- by Boris
Hi,
I tried to invoke java inside bash script on windows (Win XP) using cygwin.
However path to java.exe contain spaces.
only literaly putting in bash sometghing like this worked:
/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_10/bin/java -cp "$TOOL_HOME" DateParse "$DATE" "$FORMAT"
My attemts to put java path to a variable failed:
export JAVA_EXE="/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_10/bin/java"
$JAVA_EXE -cp "$TOOL_HOME" DateParse "$DATE" "$FORMAT"
also different combination with cygpath, quotes, brackets did not work. I am not finding the the right combination
