Description

Hi,
I had a small problem with starting the groovyconsole.bat.
Actually the Enviromentvariable CLASSPATH on my machine
contained a jar file that didn't exists anymore.
groovyconsole.bat just did not startup because of this.

This might be very confusing to new users ...

Regards,
Markus

I wonder could the problem be that your CLASSPATH variable contained a space in it?

Non-existing things in the CLASSPATH should not cause an issue.

Any chance you could show us the error you got?

I have had this same problem with beta 7. I followed the instructions and have the groovy home and java home set correctly. I am using jdk 1.5. Here is the exception. I looked in the groovy-1.0-beta-7.jar and the class it is looking for is not in there.

I was able to get the console to run by copying the groovy/ui/Console classes to the groovy jar. They are for some reason missing in the beta 7 jar. I copied the ones from the rc1 jar and they worked.
