I wrote a shell script to directly invoke PCEnhancer on class java.util.HashSet, and even that didn't work:
$ ./enhance.sh 52 openjpa INFO [main] openjpa.Tool - Enhancer running on type "java.util.HashSet". Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundExcep tion: file:\C:\opt\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar!\java\util\HashSet.class (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect) at org.apache.openjpa.lib.conf.Configurations.launchRunnable(Configurations.java:744) On Sun, Nov 18, 2012 at 10:37 AM, Chris Wolf <cwolf.a...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > This is my first posting and first attempt to use OpenJPA.
