Apache OfBiz is not installing correctly, and fails to compile in the command prompt.
After creating the system variable JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_40, and editing "Path" to be C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin;C:\apache-ant-1.9.4\bin, I downloaded OfBiz 13.07.01 to my C:\ folder and unzipped it there. In the command prompt, I typed the following:
C:\Users\CalS>cd C:\apache-ofbiz-13.07.01
C:\apache-ofbiz-13.07.01>ant load-seed
Then, after about 50 seconds, I get this:
BUILD FAILED
C:\apache-ofbiz-13.07.01\build.xml:229: the following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\apache-ofbiz-13.07.01\build.xml:248: the following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\apache-ofbiz-13.07.01\build.xml:39: the following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\apache-ofbiz-13.07.01\build.xml:91: compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.
Please note it has been years since I dealt with DOS, so I do not know how to access the error output.
This is after I get a few dozen errors like:
[javac16] class file for org.ofbiz.widget.ContentWorkerInterfaice not found
and
[javac16] warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunctions with -source 1.6
Under 'classes'.
Misc. I have tried 'ant run-install' and 'load-demo' commands without avail. I've followed step-by-step tutorials, but very likely missed something. Please let me know what I can do to fix this and run this program successfully. Thanks!
Please have a look at the following Apache Jira Tickets for OFBiz where your problem is addressed and was fixed, so that OFBiz could be build with java 1.8.
The build errors occur due to missing fileset entries in the build.xml for some applications (party, workeffort, product, order, ebay, and pos), see: OFBIZ-5835
A fix is available in related ticket: OFBIZ-6079
There was another bug in the current release branches (checked 14.12.01, 12.04.06, 13.07.02) that I fixed last week. The fix is already committed to the branches.
See: OFBIZ-6252
You have to compile/run with the same Java version.
Seems you have some inconsistencies: JAVA_HOME ist 1.8, Path is set to jre 7 and the warning states it is using an 1.6 compiler.
With the 13.07. Release, using Java 1.7 or 1.8 is recommended and supported.
Alright, so it looks like Apache OFBiz and Java JDK 1.8.XX don't get along. I found help on another forum that confirmed the discrepancy in compatibility between OFBiz 13.07.01/Apache ant 1.9.4 and JDK 1.8.XX. This will cause the compiling of the Apache Ant to fail (which seems to run off of JDK 1.6).
I remedied the problem by downloading the archived JDK 1.7.0_67 from Oracle, re-mapping the System Variables accordingly, and re-initializing the Command Prompt.
It works now! Thank you all for your contributions.
Though solved, let me add something important. JDK version is not always an issue in such errors. Ofbiz v13.X.X works well on JDK 1.7 and above. The error shown is a peculiar issue with Ofbiz v13.07.01 dist.
As Martin pointed out, one need to add widget jars in the classpath of order, party, product & workeffort. Add the below line
<fileset dir="../../framework/widget/build/lib" includes="*.jar"/>
in build.xml of order, party, product & workeffort under applications directory.

I installed a fresh copy of GGTS on a fresh copy of windows 8 with JDK 1.7 installed.
I tried to get it to compile my existing project which was based on 2.3.6 and it failed miserably as GGTS comes with grails 2.4.2.
I know serveral people who had problems with 2.4.x so decided to stick with 2.3.
So I downloaded 2.3.11 (latest 2.3) and created a GRAILS_HOME pointing to 2.3.11 dir, and JAVA_HOME pointing to the root of the JDK.
On command line, I can now type grails - version and get back 2.3.11.
I restarted GGTS, and deleted the project and createde it again, adding 2.3.11 as a new Grails version, and set the project to use that.
It fails to compile, saying version is wrong. Fair enough. But when I try to launch the command line from GGTS using the gree circular button at the top which looks like 3 cups, it says:
Retrieving available scripts
Retrieving available scripts
An internal error occurred during: "Retrieving available scripts".
java.lang.NullPointerException
Any ideas?
In my case the problem was, that I had moved grails to a different folder. I just had to change the location of grails in the settings. Hope that helps somebody.
check all grails-project's 'app.grails.version' in application.properties, then open window - preferences - groovy -grails, make sure that all VERSIONs were defined ( I use sts, maybe a little difference ).
alternatively
update all application.properties set app.grails.version=2.3.11 ( the version your ggts defined )
Check if your environment variable of GRAILS_HOME is set to the right version of Grails.
I ran into this same issue, and the problem was caused by the Grails installation it was trying to use. It wanted to use the default version that comes with GGTS rather than the one I installed myself.
To fix, go to Window > Preferences > Groovy > Grails, then "Edit" the Grails installation it shows. I had to switch mine from C:\ggts-bundle\grails-2.4.4\ to C:\grails-2.4.2\.
I have installed Weblogic 10.3.6.0 and using apache-ant-1.8.1 for build. ANT_HOME, JAVA_HOME are set
When I ran diagnostics I get this part
-------------------------------------------
ANT PROPERTIES
-------------------------------------------
ant.version: Apache Ant version 1.7.1 compiled on June 27 2008
ant.java.version: 1.6
ant.core.lib: C:\BEA11\modules\org.apache.ant_1.7.1\lib\ant.jar
ant.home: C:\apps\apache-ant-1.8.1
Ant home is 1.8 but the core lib is referring older version. Is there any way to override this issue?
Thanks!
EDIT
after adding ant\bin location to PATH, I get different problem.
taskdef class weblogic.ant.taskdefs.management.WLDeploy cannot be found using the classloader AntClassLoader[]
Solution : mentioned the weblogic server path properly.
I'll bet the older version is bundled with WebLogic.
See if you can find it to confirm.
I'd argue that the WebLogic version ought to be sufficient. What functionality is it missing that you can't do without?

I’ve added a GRAILS_HOME environment variable, which points to the folder in which I extracted the Grails distribution zip, and I’ve added %GRAILS_HOME%\bin to my path. Yet after I open a new command prompt, the “grails” command is still not found. Does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening?
I’m running Grails 2.2 on Windows 7.
I have the same problem on Windows 7 64 bit and Grails version 2.*
By removing local neither maven repository nor installed plugins repository doesn't help.
I found - just set properties of %GRAILS_HOME%/bin/grails.bat and startGrails.bat as Run in compatibility mode: Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
To do that You need to have local PC Administrators rights.
/igors
have you create JAVA_HOME in there?
Maybe you are experiencing [STS-2530] Problem deploying Grails App if workspace path has a space. Jira shows the issue as resolved but it would not hurt to check that you do not have a space in your workspace path as it my trip up grails.
Do the following.
Go to your command prompt, execute the Path command. If everything has been set right your paths should show up as complete paths starting with C:... If the paths show up with the % sign that means your paths need to be set correctly. I did noticed that in your example you have used the forward slash - I am assuming that is a typo, because that will be a problem.
Another way to trouble shoot the issue is CD to the location C:\Grails\bin, execute the command grails.bat, if it executes you are in a good place that means you have to tweak your paths - following this path might give you a clue about other issues....
You might want to check the bin folder of your grails installation. The grails.bat file could be missing. I had this problem today and solved it by downloading the zip file again.
I get a strange error when I add a new property to message.properties file in my grails application during runtime. When I restart the application via the command line, or restart STS, this error disappears. I am on version 2.0.1 and until a week ago, I was able to add new properties to message.properties file during runtime. Here is the stacktrace of the error
| Error 2012-06-18 16:54:58,702 [Thread-38] ERROR plugins.AbstractGrailsPluginManager - Plugin [i18n:2.0.1] could not reload changes to file [/home/project/grails-app/i18n/messages.properties]: Error starting Sun's native2ascii:
Message: Error starting Sun's native2ascii:
Any ideas?
cd to jdk path
cp lib/tools.jar jre/lib/ext/tools.jar
It solves the issue.
Note: to get correct jdk path,
check GGTS --> Windows --> Preferences --> Java --> Installed JREs --> JREs Home Path
You should be using JDK rather than JRE.
Also, if you don't need the native2ascii (which you probably don't), in BuildConfig.groovy use: grails.enable.native2ascii = false
Very frustrating bug.
After I executed all the steps suggested above in this thread, grails app was STILL not seeing tools.jar...
GRRR!
For anyone experiencing this problem in GGTS when pointing to the 1.7 jdk (when setting the jre) persisting afterwards, you MUST do the following:
Pick the correct jdk (1.7) in the "JRE Definition" panel within "Installed JRE's" in the GGTS Preferences panels.
Watch the jars from that jdk populate in the JRE definition window panel at the bottom "JRE System Libraries".
Check for tools.jar (mine DID NOT show up as recognized within the jdk lib or, after i tried 'zawmn83's post above) in /lib/ext.
If tools.jar does not show up as recognized in the jdk, click the "Add External JARs..." button, find it, add it.
That completely solve my problem - THANK GOD!!!!
p.s. i also had to set my JAVA_HOME to my 1.7 jdk correctly, in my .bash_profile but, that's already called out here as part of the solution.
Thanks everyone for contributing on this one - this bug has been causing me brain damage whilst tinkering with it today, and the above suggestions got me 99% of the way there!
I had a similar problem, in the end I
Removed the Debug Config for the Project
Deleted the project (but NOT the files)
Removed the .settings directory
Removed the .classpath and .project files from the project
Created a New General Project with the same name in the workspace
Recreated the Debug -> Run as Run-App
Hope this helps
This happened to me when I installed java 8 in parallel with java 7 on Ubuntu but didn't properly configure it with update-alternatives. Specifically, JAVA_HOME was not set properly.
I had a similar error when compiling Grails 2 from the command line under linux.
Error packaging application: Error occurred processing message bundles: Error starting Sun's native2ascii:
...
Caused by: : Error starting Sun's native2ascii:
...
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun.tools.native2ascii.Main`
I solved it by setting JAVA_HOME to JDK as mentioned above, something like
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.161.x86_64
and not:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64
also include $JAVA_HOME/bin in the PATH variable
On linux, running grails war command, it solves the issue
cp /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk/lib/tools.jar /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk/jre/lib/ext/
Anyone knows how to fix this ?
It works fine on my env (Me being the developer) and doesn't work on my colleagues machine who unzips the whole
Welcome to Grails null - http://grails.org/
Licensed under Apache Standard License 2.0
Grails home is set to: C:\abc\products\grails-1.1
Base Directory: C:\abc\products\foo\bar
Running script C:\abc\products\grails-1.1\scripts\RunApp.groovy
Environment set to development
Application expects grails version [1.1], but GRAILS_HOME is version [null] - us
e the correct Grails version or run 'grails upgrade' if this Grails version is n
ewer than the version your application expects.
Some clarifications
1) There has been no Grails version change , either on my machine or my colleagues machine. In fact some of them are installing for the first time
2) Under C:\Documents and Settings\myfriend.grails I can see a folder called 'null'
I tried removing this folder - but it gets created he runs my application
3) The way I am giving him the release is- I unzip the whole folder and he unzips it
SO there are three steps
A_ grails create-app to create the APp
B_ Unzip my folder to replace the generated folder
C_ Grails run-app
Things are fine after the step A- but degenerate after Step C
It appears that his Grails installation is corrupted or not set up correctly. I would have him reinstall a fresh copy of Grails - http://www.grails.org/Installation and try again.
The error that you are getting is telling us that the application that you are trying to run is identified as version 1.1 and I assume that this is correct. The fact that Grails is not able to identify what version is installed makes me point to a corrupted or mis-configured Grails installation
If he types 'grails' at the command line what does he see?
I found the problem.
This was because I had added a file- build.properties
And since the file was there- it was expecting it to have certain properties defined in it
Once I renamed it to something else- it started to work
