Multiple issues: Running play-as on windows machines

[killdashnine]

Using msysgit for the git instance and a play 1.2.4 RC-1 I was able to start play-as from eclipse using the following application.conf:

Full path to default the Play! executable

path.play = C:\play-1.2.4-RC1\play.bat

Full path to the GIT executable

path.git = C:\msysgit\bin\git.exe

Git.exe complained about a missing libiconv-2.dll so I copied that into the msysgit directory. This was not displayed on the server console. I had to manually run the commands executed by the server.

When actually starting the server the following happens :

Error: no server' JVM atC:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\server\jvm.dll'.

This should be shown on the system console (it's also not.)

So this tickets provides two fixes:

• Better error logging from command output on windows
• Check what is wrong with the server JVM (need JDK?)

Oops, wrong ticket id on commit

Yet another issue found on a windows machine, the application.conf box has too many line breaks for some reason (windows only)

Fixed the JVM issue, normal JRE doesn't have server folder, need JDK or copy client folder to server folder. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5941796/no-server-jvm-at for more information

Marten, I assigned this one for you as I currently don't have a windows machine available. If you checkout an application you'll find that the application.conf box has too many whitespace. Please have a look into this. All other stuff is fixed.

Moved to V3 as this is insignificant

I have some strange issues when I try to checkout an application. We should have a look at this together when we are at the office. We could try it in my Windows VM.
