Question

I have installed subclipse, Ant, IvyDE, Red5 Plugin for eclipse, I added JAVA_HOME and JAVA_VERSION to environmental variables, I also added Java, and Ant to the windows path.

I am attempting to create a Red5 Distribution by using eclipse, opening Build.xml right clicking dist [default] in the outline window and running as and selecting Ant Builder.

Eclipse says that the build is Successful. I first stop the Red5 Service, and then I attempt to run the build I create in eclipse it fails, below are the errors that display in the command prompt.

I was hoping someone else might have run into a similar issue before.

Press any key to continue . . .

Any idea what might be causing it to error?

Had the same problem. Don’t understand yet, but seems things have changed since the videos, and contrary to what I initially found by searching. Contents of the dist directory are meant to be moved to a red5 distribution, but can be run by first changing into the dist directory, then entering,
“export RED5_HOME=pwd” and “./red5.sh”, as suggested at the bottom of http://red5.org/wiki/Download#LatestDevelopmentSourceCode. (there are back-ticks around the pwd, but they got stripped out of this post.)

Not really an answer, but at least a clue. I’m suspecting it has something to do with the startup scripts, because the .bat worked in XP but the .sh didn’t in Ubuntu 10.04.
