Comment 1 Andrew Eisenberg CLA 2008-11-26 12:14:13 EST 
Is the class that you are running pure Java, or does it have some AspectJ entities in it?

Are you doing "Run As Java Application" or "Run As AspectJ/Java Application"?
Comment 2 insane CLA 2008-11-27 03:01:44 EST 
It is a pure java class. Maybe i placed this bug in the wrong category... AJDT and JDT is awfully the same..
Comment 3 Andrew Eisenberg CLA 2008-11-27 12:56:18 EST 
Moving this over to JDT.

Would be good if you could provide more information such as the classpath.
Comment 4 Michael Rennie CLA 2008-11-28 09:45:10 EST 
As well as the class path could you supply:

1. the example java file that demonstrates the problem
2. any VM arguments / parameters you are passing in to the program

We need more information to consider this bug report. Can an example be provided? Does the problem still exist? Does the problem ocurr on 3.5?
Comment 6 Warren Paul CLA 2010-01-22 16:37:15 EST 
This appears to be a general problem on Windows when the class path gets too long or contains spaces.  I'm poking around Bugzilla to see if I can find a better solution, but from what I've found so far, those would be the only known workarounds.

BUG #327193 is a duplicate of this, but has more votes.

Also, this line issue is seen on Windows 7 too.

Marking as a dupe of bug 327193 as there is more discussion and potential patches on that bug.
