Hacking the IDE: Help with Ant

Development Libraries
1

I've been trying to add some GIT functionality to the IDE the last few days. I have created a working test project that runs fine.

I have added the classes i created that implement the jgit library then added jgit to the lib folder and modified the build.xml classpath for the javac on the app directory

classpath="../core/core.jar; lib/jgit-0.10.1.jar; etc etc

My code compiles FINE! But when i go to execute the produced windows executable it pops up the splash using launch4j then the actual java app dies/never appears.

I know the output is missing a reference or something but i can't work out how to resolve this at all :astonished:

Any help would be appreciated.

edit
I have been able to load the ant project into eclipse and provide my modifcations there and it compiles and works! But i would like to get it generating the correct output without the need for eclipse :0

Launch4j provides some debug options, these may help track down your problem:

I'm summarizing the research I did to fix this error.

Disable/delete unnecessary COM ports.

Unplug Bluetooth adapter (worked for me).
Close/Disable Bluetooth software, e.g. Bluesoleil.exe and btntservice.exe

Delete preferences.txt
Windows 7: C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\Arduino\preferences.txt
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings<user>\Application Data\Arduino\preferences.txt.

Edit the file outside of a version control system.
