Issue2606

I am facing problem with invoking jython.exe. I have installed Java 8 and jython 2.7.0. Installation went successful. 

I can start jython with a command:
java -jar jython.jar 

but when I want to launch jython.exe in ..bin/java.exe I got following exception:

Exception in thread "main" Traceback (most recent call last):

sun.misc.InvalidJarIndexException: sun.misc.InvalidJarIndexException: Invalid index


my path set is:

jython.exe --print

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_91\bin\java" -Xmx512m -Xss1024k -classpath C:\jython2.7.0\jython.jar;C:\PROGRA~1\Java\JDK18~1.0_9\lib\tools.jar;C:\Users\m015990\Utils\WebLogic\wls12210\wlserver\modules\features\wlst.wls.classpath.jar;C:\Users\m015990\Utils\WebLogic\wls12210\wlserver\server\lib\weblogic.jar -Dpython.home=C:\jython2.7.0 -Dpython.executable=C:\jython2.7.0\bin\jython.exe -Dpython.launcher.uname=windows -Dpython.launcher.tty=true org.python.util.jython


Any ideas??

Looks like nobody had any ideas ... :) This is probably too late as a reply.

I notice that the java home directory (leading to tools.jar) has a windows 8.3 form. If at the point of the error Jython is going for a file in that path, it might be unable to cope with the 8.3 name as part of (say) a URL.

This is probably from an environment variable, but if not, it may be happening in the launcher. We've made several adjustments to jython.exe, so a later Jython may do better.

Or he cause may be entirely different.
