invalid argument on -d (output directory)

[Glen Cordrey]

With JDE compile option directory set to c:/temp why do I get the following failure reported in the *compilation*

window when I compile via

the jde-compile defun? I've also tried c:\temp and enclosing both forms in double quotes without success.

I'm using JDE 2.2.8 and NTemacs 21.1.1.

 

 

cd c:\j2me\pointbase\micro\demos\ContactManager\source\
c:/sun/jdk1.3.1_02/bin/javac  -sourcepath "c:/j2me/pointbase/micro/demos/contactmanager/source" -d c:/temp MainFrame.java
