Description Jesse Glick 2001-03-14 11:50:04 UTC 
There is no need to start the IDE with a particular working directory in effect,
as the launcher scripts know how to resolve everything relative to themselves
anyway. So the firststart targets should not pass in a working directory. For
example, the Unix version of firststart:

    <exec os="Linux SunOS Solaris" dir="netbeans/bin" executable="sh"
failonerror="yes" timeout="600000">
      <arg value="runide.sh"/>

This can be rewritten as follows:

    <exec os="Linux SunOS Solaris" executable="sh" failonerror="yes"
timeout="600000">
      <arg file="netbeans/bin/runide.sh"/>

Similar (I believe) for Windows, and for tryme target.

Note that due to an Ant bug (which I have sent a patch for and will resend),
currently if you try to run firststart from the nbbuild/netbeans/bin/ directory
(meaning same CWD as the script would set anyway), it fails terribly: the Ant
<exec> task has a bug where if you set dir="..." and it is set to the same dir
as you are currently in, on some platforms/JDKs, the CWD is set to null and
nothing works. If the setting of the CWD is removed entirely, it is OK.

You'r right, I'll fix it.

Comment 3 Michal Zlamal 2001-03-15 10:05:53 UTC 
Fixed in maintrunk and release32 - previous change of version was incorrect
