ANT_HOME cmd issue in Windows 8 - ant

I have set
ANT_HOME as C:\Janice\GuideWire\AllSoftwares\apache-ant-1.7.1 (User variables)
And
PATH=%ANT_HOME%\bin (system variables)
It just does not work. I get ANT_HOME incorrectly set or cannot be located.
I also tried:
ANT_HOME as C:\Janice\GuideWire\AllSoftwares\apache-ant-1.7.1 (User variables)
And
PATH=%ANT_HOME%\bin (User variables)
I tried re starting the system for both the cases. Nothing works. plz help

I have got variables in system variables section and it's working...
After modification plesae execute:
Restart OS
Type in command line set and check if ANT_HOME/ant configuration is present
Type ant -v

If C:\Janice\GuideWire\AllSoftwares\apache-ant-1.7.1\bin is set in the path, then that should work. Make sure this parameter is separated by a semi-colon(;) in path.
set path=C:\Janice\GuideWire\AllSoftwares\apache-ant-1.7.1\bin;%path%
Or you may try adding double slash once.

You also need to have Java installed and present on path.
Run cmd and there:
set | findstr ANT
set | findstr JAVA
and
echo %PATH% | findstr jdk
each of those commands need to return something.
Verify your java config by running:
java -version
where java
result should be as follows
c:\Guidewire\TrainingApp\bin>java -version
java version "1.6.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01, mixed mode)
c:\Guidewire\TrainingApp\bin>where java
C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
c:\tools\jdk1.6.0_21\bin\java.exe
if it's not, then probably you need to set up Java first
Make sure that your ANT_HOME variable is

wsl pass env values to a windows process [duplicate]

From a Windows Subsystem for Linux (v1) Alpine bash terminal, I would like to set an environment variable that get's passed into a windows executable. Is there any way to do this?
example of what I was hoping would print "Hello, World!":
windows-10:~# export X=World
windows-10:~# cmd.exe /c 'echo Hello, %X%!'
Hello, %X%!
See answer from Philipe below.
Here is a copy of the pertinent info from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/interop
Share environment variables between Windows and WSL
Available in Windows Insider builds 17063 and later.
Prior to 17063, only Windows environment variable that WSL could access was PATH (so you could launch Win32 executables from under WSL).
Starting in 17063, WSL and Windows share WSLENV, a special environment variable created to bridge Windows and Linux distros running on WSL.
Properties of WSLENV:
It is shared; it exists in both Windows and WSL environments.
It is a list of environment variables to share between Windows and WSL.
It can format environment variables to work well in Windows and WSL.
There are four flags available in WSLENV to influence how that environment variable is translated.
WSLENV flags:
/p - translates the path between WSL/Linux style paths and Win32 paths.
/l - indicates the environment variable is a list of paths.
/u - indicates that this environment variable should only be included when running WSL from Win32.
/w - indicates that this environment variable should only be included when running Win32 from WSL.
Flags can be combined as needed.
Can you try this ?
~$ export X=World
~$ export WSLENV=X/w
~$ cmd.exe /c 'echo Hello, %X%!'
Hello, World!

Jacoco agent (output=file) not (creating /writing to) file .exec(not using any maven plugins) [duplicate]

In a shell script, I have set the JAVA_OPTS environment variable (to enable remote debugging and increase memory), and then I execute the jar file as follows:
export JAVA_OPTS="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8001,server=y,suspend=n -Xms512m -Xmx512m"
java -jar analyse.jar $*
But it seems there is no effect of the JAVA_OPTS env variable as I cannot connect to remote-debugging and I see no change in memory for the JVM.
What could be the problem?
PS: I cannot use those settings in the java -jar analyse.jar $* command because I process command line arguments in the application.
You can setup _JAVA_OPTIONS instead of JAVA_OPTS. This should work without $_JAVA_OPTIONS.
I don't know of any JVM that actually checks the JAVA_OPTS environment variable. Usually this is used in scripts which launch the JVM and they usually just add it to the java command-line.
The key thing to understand here is that arguments to java that come before the -jar analyse.jar bit will only affect the JVM and won't be passed along to your program. So, modifying the java line in your script to:
java $JAVA_OPTS -jar analyse.jar $*
Should "just work".
In the past 12 years some changes were made.
Environment variable JAVA_OPTS was and is NOT a standardized option. It is evaluated by some shell script wrappers for Java based tools, an example of how this works is in the answer from ZoogieZork.
The environment variable _JAVA_OPTIONS mentioned by HEX is nowadays deprecated/undocumented.
Starting with Java 9, the recommended way to do what you wanted is the variable JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS, see Using the JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS Launcher Environment Variable in the Oracle Java 9 documentation, and this comprehensive answer What is the difference between JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS and JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS when using Java 11?.

How do I make grails choose the right JDK?

I'm using Mac OSX 10.8.5 with Oracle's Java 1.7 installed in addition to the mac's 1.6.
I have my JAVA_HOME set and the JAVA_HOME/bin in the front of my path.
When I run a grails compile from the command line I can see it's choosing the Java 1.6 instead of 1.7. How do I make the grails command-line choose the JDK I want?
➤ echo $JAVA_HOME
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_21.jdk/Contents/Home
➤ echo $PATH
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_21.jdk/Contents/Home/bin /usr/local/share/npm/bin /Users/kbrodhagen/bin /Users/kbrodhagen/.rvm/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/bin /opt/X11/bin /usr/local/git/bin
➤ set -x JAVA_OPTS "-showversion"
➤ grails compile
java version "1.6.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_51-b11-457-11M4509)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.51-b01-457, mixed mode)
Which shell are you using and exactly how did you set JAVA_HOME? Grails should respect your JAVA_HOME setting as long as it is visible to the grails command, for example in bash you must export the variable rather than just setting it, in tcsh you would use setenv rather than set.
$ export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_21.jdk/Contents/Home
You can also remove /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_21.jdk/Contents/Home/bin from your PATH as /usr/bin/java will automatically delegate to the appropriate java command for the current JAVA_HOME.
If you want to localise the Java version only to Grails the best way is to edit below file,
.gvm/bin/gvm-init.sh
You can set the JAVA_HOME in this file as below,
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_71.jdk/Contents/Home
I have Java 8 in my machine and here I am setting java 1.7 for grails ONLY.
For the new SDKman method you can export JAVA_HOME in [YOUR HOME]/.sdkman/candidates/grails/[concrete version or current]/bin/grails
I needed to be able to switch between a Java 7/Grails 2.4.4 project and a Java 8/Spring 4 project in Ubuntu 12.04 and certain things made this difficult:
I'd set Java 8 as the default version after installing it using sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default, but that apparently creates /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh and /etc/profile.d/jdk.csh containing JAVA_HOME, JRE_HOME and other env vars that prevented me from swapping the JDK.
This kinda worked, but the above env vars clouded things too much.
In the end, I removed both of the above items from my environment and the files in /etc/profile.d and I now:
Change the JDK by running sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-8-oracle (or java-7-oracle) as mentioned in the webupd8 article;
Run gvm to set the current or default grails and other tools as required
Seems messier than it should be, but I think it is working now.
If you use SDKMAN to install Grails (which is the currently recommended method), you can add any versions of Java you have installed to SDKMAN and it will manage them for you as well. For example:
sdk install java openjdk-8 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
sdk use java openjdk-8
Note that this will set JAVA_HOME for your user, so if you don't want that you may want to consider one of the other options.
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/home/user/.sdkman/candidates/java/current
For more information: SDKMAN local versions

Environment Variable in 64 bit OS nor recognized without reboot

I have Installshiled script which define CATALINA_HOME as environment Variable initially. same script after that execute the batch file service.bat that is using CATALINA_HOME. this file when executed display the error CATALINA_HOME is not define define correctly. as this variable is defined as environmental VARIABLE and pointing Tomcat Directory Properly. I thing the system require reboot to recognize environment Variables.Is there any way to define Environment that work directly without reboot. I am using 64 bit Windows 7.
I may be wrong but the script that you're running loads the env variables once when you start it so you won't get any new env variables added during the runtime of the script.
And in your script, if you just execute the batch file, it will use the same out dated env variables the script started with.
What I do is run 'cmd /k service.bat' This starts a new shell (with the updated env variables) and runs the batch file and terminates afterwards.
You shouldn't need to reboot between your install.

How to run Ruby and GIT commands in one place on Windows

I have Ruby and GIT installed on my windows box. To run GIT commands I am utilizing the GIT Bash. To run Ruby commands I am using the command line.
I have not been successful running GIT commands from the CMD line nor can I seem to run Ruby commands from inside the GIT Bash. I would love to be able to run commands for both GIT and Ruby from the GIT Bash (ideal) or at the least from the CMD line.
What is the best way to go about this?
I run git commands from the CMD session all the time.
Make sure your PATH environment variable includes the 'cmd' directory from a msysgit distro:
Path=C:\Path\To\Git\1.7.1\cmd
If not, add it in your session:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Path\To\Git\1.7.1\cmd
and you are done. Git and Ruby commands in your CMD shell.
The reverse (Ruby commands) is possible in a Git bash, by adding to the PATH a value like /c/path/to/Ruby/186-27/bin
To elaborate on VonC's answer of making Ruby available in Git-Bash.
All you have to do is add the path to your Ruby bin folder in your windows environment variables. It doesn't have to be in the format /c/path/to/ruby, it can be C:\Ruby193\bin.
Step by step for Windows 7:
Start
Search programs and files (default textbox after hitting the Start icon), Search for 'environment'
Select 'edit the system environment variables'
Click 'Environment Variables' (bottom right of the form)
Add to the 'System Variables' 'PATH' the following ';C:\Ruby193\bin' (without the single quotes)
Restart your shell
Make sure to close your git-bash shell and restart it to pick up the new environment variable.
Go to My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced system settings ->
Environment Variables
Add a New System variable. Variable name = RUBY_BIN. Variable
value = C:\Ruby193\bin (path may vary).
Add a New System variable. Variable name = MSYSGIT_BIN. Variable
value = C:\msysgit\bin (path may vary).
Append ;%RUBY_BIN%;%MSYSGIT_BIN% to Path variable, under System variables.
Restart shell.
This will allow you to run ruby, git or sh (Git Bash) commands from Command Prompt, as well as Ruby from Git Bash.
My personal setup uses msysgit and tortoisegit. I've found that using TortoiseGit's Pageant manager for the keys lets me use everything from any command line, including powershell. The only annoyance is I have to have pageant running with the keys added, which seem to clear on every reboot. Fortunately I don't reboot often.
The combined answer for VonC and Rots helped me to achieve the desired results.
However, since I was not familiar with editing environment variables, I must have accidentally overwritten the path for my nodejs files.
As a result my solution included adding the ruby path and the nodejs path to my user variables instead of the system.
I'm using a Windows 7 machine.
while installing ruby installer, select the option "Add ruby executables to your path" . Then all git/ruby commands will run from git bash.
