It’s a hold-over from the old examples folder that I started with. It starts up an http server that serves out the contents of the ‘lib-dl’ folder. In the older examples in the JTSK, the pattern was to start up the class server separately. In the new examples that I did, both the 'start-infr

As a general formatting suggestion, use two different box borders for two different types of code boxes: 1. Code that you are discussing that is actually present in the site, and does not need to be entered by the user. 2. Commands the user should enter in a shell.

By the way, the command lines are just invoking the jam, so the exact same command line should work in Windows command shell. But you’re right, we should have explicit Windows instructions in the tutorial as well. Cheers, Greg Trasuk On Feb 8, 2015, at 10:56 PM, Patricia Shanahan wrote: >

Found the problem - it isn’t Cygwin-related, it’s Windows-related. The class path separator character is different on Windows vs OSX, so the service-starter config files need to use File.pathSeparator rather than hardcode the character. I’ve committed the change, so you should be able to updat
