Description

On my system I have JAVA_HOME set to "C:\JDK\"
This results in an error message when starting GROOVY:
"JAVA_HOME not set"

When I change JAVA_HOME to "C:\JDK" everything works fine.

This can be a litte disturbing for new users and should be easy to fix, I guess.

Greetings,
Malte

I think it's still a problem and important, because in other cases/tools it's not obligatory to define the path without a trailing backslash. e.g. Even the GRAILS_HOME is checked for a trailing backslash.

I've done a modification of the file %GRAILS_HOME%\bin\startGrails.bat at section ":have_JAVA_HOME" I've added following:

:have_JAVA_HOME

@rem Remove trailing slash from JAVA_HOME:
if "%JAVA_HOME:~-1%"=="\" SET JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_HOME:~0,-1%

If needed I can also create a patch for Grails 1.0.2
