Building Boca in Windows

A helpful message from Matt to the ibm-slrp-general mailing list about building Boca on Windows:

I installed a fresh workstation yesterday with Windows XP in order to test the maven builds on something other than linux and have some notes on my experience.

  1. The maven build seems to fail if you have JAVA_HOME pointing to jdk6 instead of jdk5.
  2. The maven build failed if my JAVA_HOME pointed to a path with spaces, ie c:\program files\IBM\jdk50, but works fine if I set it to c:\apps\jdk50
