Description

the commands: "apollo" or "apollo create broker" fail with the error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.activemq.apollo.cli.Apollo

the problem seems to be related to the fact the $BOOTDIRS argument is passed as unix path.

To fix this I modified by hand, in my istallation, the bin/apollo script adding

BOOTDIRS=`cygpath --path --windows "$BOOTDIRS"`

in the if block for cygwin and it seems to work correctly.

The "apollo create broker" command creates a script APOLLO_BASE/bin/apollo-broker.cmd, and no unix-like apollo-broker script, which I created by hand.

When $APOLLO_HOME/bin/apollo is called from the apollo-broker script,it fails again since the APOLLO_BASE is set.
This happens cause of the setting:

BOOTDIRS="${APOLLO_BASE}/lib\;${BOOTDIRS}"

which is not converted properly by cygpath.

To fix it I changed again the definition of BOOTDIRS in the same place as above, i.e. in the block for cygwin, as follows:

BOOTDIRS=`cygpath --path --windows "${APOLLO_BASE}/lib\:${APOLLO_HOME}/lib"`
