Eclipse Che does not start: 'java.lang.ClassNotFoundException org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager'

Question

I'm trying to run Eclipse Che (latest beta-13 version) on Windows 7 x64, running the script che.bat as:

> che run -p:9010

but it fails when it's trying to start the tomcat server:

Could not load Logmanager "org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager"

Any keypoints?

Thanks.

This is due to a bug in the beta due to spaces in the directories of Windows paths. You can: 1. Either download the nightly from eclipse.org/che (which has a fix), or: 2. Move the Eclipse Che installation to a directory that does not have any directories.

Please post any buggs at github.com/codenvy/che and you'll get some help from engineers

I've used a third approach, editing the setenv.sh file in tomcat\bin folder under eclipse che installation.

It was:

#Tomcat options
[ -z "${CATALINA_OPTS}" ]  && CATALINA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote  \
                                             -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false \
                                             -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false \
                                             -Dche.local.conf.dir=${CHE_LOCAL_CONF_DIR} \
                                             -Dche.home=${CHE_HOME} \
                                             -Dche.logs.dir=${CHE_LOGS_DIR}"

With the quoted env. vars:

#Tomcat options
[ -z "${CATALINA_OPTS}" ]  && CATALINA_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote  \
                                             -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false \
                                             -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false \
                                             -Dche.local.conf.dir="\"${CHE_LOCAL_CONF_DIR}\"" \
                                             -Dche.home="\"${CHE_HOME}\"" \
                                             -Dche.logs.dir="\"${CHE_LOGS_DIR}\"""

And now it works.
