Re: [buckminster-dev] Hudson plugin and provisioning

[Daniel Weber <DaWeber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Johannes,

glad I could help :) And thanks for the explanations re Master/Slave issues. This was my first encounter with a piece of hudson code. Up to now I just used it.

Which Windows version does your Virtual box use? The sh problem is solved in 1.0.1, but now I'm having trouble with the director/buckminster.bat files on my WinXP32 machine.

  * Parsing the vmargs does not work. The loop in the batch file splits -Dbuckminster.output.root=D:\hudson in two seperate args, omitting the '=':

	"...\bin\java.exe"  -Dbuckminster.output.root D:\hudson ...

    The same happens when I copy the original command line to a "DOS Box". If I add "" around the -D args, it works: 

	"...\buckminster.bat" ... -vmargs "-Dbuckminster.output.root=D:\hudson"

    This might depend on the windows version being used, I don't know.

  * The batch files (director/buckminster) have trouble when being installed in a directory with blanks (it's them again... ;)). But there's nothing your plugin can do about that. I'll see if I can find an Eclipse bug for this or file a new one. It's this for statement that does not work if %EXE_DIR% contains blanks:

	for /f "delims= tokens=1" %%c in ('dir /B /S /OD %EXE_DIR%\plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar') do set EQUINOXJAR=%%c

    This works:

	for /f "delims= tokens=1" %%c in ('dir /B /S /OD "%EXE_DIR%\plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar"') do set EQUINOXJAR=%%c

Regards,
Daniel
