Hint is giving me no hints

All finding this thread...:

Ubuntu users, you're probably on OpenJDK (like people above).

Windows users, you might be using Sun JDK 1.6.0_18, which has a regression not present in Sun JDK 1.6.0_17. We've got an issue tracking ticket open for that, which is https://jira.springsource.org/browse/ROO-539

I'm having this problem with Sun JDK 1.6.0_18 on Ubuntu 8.0.4

Yes, the JDK 1.6.0_18 problem impacts all operating systems. It's just most Ubuntu users to date have been experiencing the OpenJDK issue given the latest Sun JDK in the central Ubuntu repositories (at least as far as I can tell) is 1.6.0_16. Sorry if my posting implied the JDK issue doesn't affect Ubuntu users.

As an aside, it's nice to see so many of you using Ubuntu. I've used it for years and love it (even though I have some Mac hardware, which I have duly formatted and installed Ubuntu on!).

The same problem occurs to me with jdk1.6.0_18.
I changed JAVA_HOME to an older jdk6 version and Roo shell got back to work.

I confirm: I installed 1.6.0_11, properply configured the JAVA_HOME variable and it worked (OS is Windows XP). Bug ??
