Visibroker

From EggeWiki

I was attempting to 'upgrade' to Visibroker 7.0. I started receiving this error message from within ant when running idl2java:

idl2java:
     [exec] <internal>: unrecoverable error launching tool; aborting

BUILD FAILED
C:\dev\MBL EQM MBLX CFD - PerformanceEnhancements\build.xml:145: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\dev\MBL EQM MBLX CFD - PerformanceEnhancements\build.xml:833: exec returned: 10

Total time: 5 seconds

I found adding the PATH to the exec command fixed the problem.

  <env key="PATH" path="${env.PATH}"/><!-- need to have the JVM on the path -->

I also was getting this problem

IDL preprocessor: (warning)extra text following line continuation
IDL preprocessor:unexpected backslash encountered
IDL preprocessor: (warning)extra text following line continuation
IDL preprocessor:unexpected backslash encountered
2 errors, 2 warnings

This was caused by not converting the backslashes in the file names. Using <arg file="..."> instead of <arg line="..."> in the ant task fixed this problem.

Cause: License file got corrupted. Fix: delete and reactivate.

The problem may also be that lmadm can't write the the var directory. Pretty much anything with the above stack trace is going to be license related.
