CloudifySource 2.2 GA and 2.3 M2 not working on Windows 8

Question

Has anybody got 2.2 GA or 2.3 M2 working on Windows 8 Ent x64? I have installed JDK 1.7.x and set JAVA_HOME and PATH as instructed in the install guide.

All errors indicate that the agent cannot start. It would also seem that this IS NOT because there's another agent running. When I try a shutdown-agent or teardown-localcloud it says it cannot find any agents.

I have switched off the windows firewall. all 3 firewall profiles are off; domain, private, and public.

Verbose output from the bootstrap-localcloud command is below. Any ideas on how to fix, where to look, how to verify the install etc.?

cloudify@default> bootstrap-localcloud --verbose
NIC Address=127.0.0.1
Lookup Locators=127.0.0.1:4176

I was able to reproduce the problem you are experiencing. though i could only reproduce this when i point my JAVA_HOME to a JRE distribution outside the JDK.

are you sure you are working with the JDK?

try running %JAVA_HOME%\bin\javac, if you cant run this command it means you are running with a JRE or with some strange JDK distribution.

i suggest installing this http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downlo... and trying again.

make sure you JAVA_HOME points to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10...

let me know if you are still seeing this issue.
