The installation for JBuilder 5 Enterprise seems to complete without encountering any errors, but when I attempt to launch JBuilder, nothing happens.

Also, when I attempt to run JBuilder.exe from a commandline, I receive a usage message from Java:

Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
           (to execute a class)
  or java -jar [-options] jarfile [args...]
           (to execute a jar file)

where options include:
    -cp -classpath
                      set search path for application classes and resources
    -D=
                      set a system property
    -verbose[:class|gc|jni]
                      enable verbose output
    -version      print product version and exit
    -showversion  print product version and continue
    -? -help      print this help message
    -X              print help on non-standard options

What is the solution for this issue?

This problem is caused occasionally when JBuilder detects that VSS has been installed and referenced through UNC path naming. The solution is the following:

• Open ..\JBuilder5\bin\jbuilder.config in Notepad
  
  
• Find the following line:
  
  
  • vmparam -DVSSCurrentDBase="//something/something"

      and change it to:

  • vmparam -DVSSCurrentDBase=""
