C:/Program: No such file or directory

[scabug]

The following error occurs on cygwin with 2.7.2.RC1 but didn't occur with earlier Scala releases.

C:> set | grep JAVA
JAVA_HOME=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_05

C:> bash

$ set | grep JAVA
JAVA_HOME='C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_05'

$ scala -version
scala: line 65: C:/Program: No such file or directory
scala: line 65: exec: C:/Program: cannot execute: No such file or directory

A simple workaround might be to add quotes to the last line of scaladoc, scalac, scala, fsc:-
exec "${JAVACMD:=java}" ...

I don't think this is directly related to the interpreter.

OK, I applied your fix, this will go into 2.7.2.

On my cygwin installation, "scala -version" now works fine. But I'm having problems with the interpreter when using jline: when I enter symbols which are not numbers or characters, e.g. '+' or ':', it starts to behave very strangely.

It works fine with the '-Xnojline' option. Can you confim this? Is is a known problem?

Thanks you for the fix.

Can you confirm this?
I'm not noticing any problems when using symbols like '+' or ':' in the interpreter.
