Hi, I'm nearly finished with Merlin installation; however, I'm doing
something wrong as the following command:
$ merlin - version
gives me the following output:
Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException: The system cannot
find the path specified
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(Unknown Source)
I'm following the instructions at the following URL:
http://avalon.apache.org/merlin/starting/installation/3.2/binary.html
However the following piece of code it's not clear to me:
"Versions of Merlin prior to the 3.2-dev 20031210 build maintained a local
repository of jar files under the %MERLIN_HOME%/repository directory. As of
the 20031210 build the repository is maintained under AVALON_HOME which
defaults to ${user.home}/.avalon. To override this behaviour you can either
define a AVALON_HOME environment variable or you can add a merlin.properties
file to ${user.home} containing the "merlin.repository" property key and a
value point to you preferred repository location."
I've in order:
1) Created a folder named merlin-SNAPSHOT
2) Copied under this folder /merlin and /plugins built from the avalon CVS
distribution (that created /merlin/target/merlin)
3) Set the MERLIN_HOME variable to merlin-SNAPSHOT
4) Added MERLIN_HOME/bin to the Path
Now I am not clear about what to do: shall I declared an AVALON_HOME which
points to the Avalon CVS distribution from which I built merlin?
I'm running on Windows XP.
Thanks for any help,
Marco
