2.9 Master does not start on Windows

Issue Type:

BugBug

Affects Versions:

2.9-beta

Assignee:

Components:

Created:

Environment:

The Windows startup.bat that is shipped with bin-zip package fails to start GS 2.9 on Windows. The reason has been located to “%JAVA_OPTS%” variable which is in the startup.bat literally as above with double quotas. Removing the quotas seems to be a reliable fix. Nightly builds of Master lack the Windows installer (exe) but probably it is creating also a non-operational start command.

The issue is a side effect of removing this line from startup.bat because Java 8 does not have MaxPermSize:

if “%JAVA_OPTS%” == “” (set JAVA_OPTS=-XX:MaxPermSize=128m)
The change was leading to an empty JAVA_OPTS variable.

Discussion on the mailing list is inside another mail thread but a mail by Chris Snider contains all the details except the explanation why it worked until GS 2.9:
