[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-24222?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Martin Malina commented on JBIDE-24222: --------------------------------------- This is really odd! I'd never seen this until now. I didn't even know such a xml file gets created. But now I looked at the launch config and I can see very odd things in PATH env var in my case: {code} Restored session: Tue Aug 22 15:34:26 CEST 2017 /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_131.jdk/Contents/Home/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin/bin Saving session... ...saving history... ...completed.:/Users/rasp/jbossqa/cdk/cdk-3.1.0 {code} WTF is that? [~hardy.ferentschik], I guess in your case it will be what you have in that xml. In my case there are no illegal characters I guess. To check this: 1. Open cdk server editor by double-clicking the CDK adapter in Servers view 2. In the server editor, click Open launch configuration (almost at the top) 3. In the launch config window, go to the Environment tab [~hardy.ferentschik], this is definitely a bug and I will create a JIRA shortly. As a workaround, you can edit the env var manually in the launch config (simply use your normal $PATH string) and then start cdk again. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.2.3#72005)
