I was so pissed today because I made a jar file for QA guys today and they said it was “unstable”, I couldn’t understand why and when I copied and pasted the command from MS Outlook I got the same error- The same thing I had tested earlier had worked fine-

I wouldn’t have dreamed that the dash was the problem

Thank you so much! I thought I was going insane-

Thanks for saving me from this!
Another lession learned. Sometimes you need to “type” the command, not just copy and paste.

Me, too! I also spent most of the day trying to figure this one out. Thank heavens this was documented or I’d still be at it.

Thank you!

Thanks a million!!! .. working in the document world,that odd hat on the U seemed out of place for an ASCII character. Important note, I went from Word, to Ultra Edit to command window with my command and still encountered the problem .. util I edited the -jar directly in the command window.
