Description lkishalmi 2004-09-23 15:01:17 UTC 
It seems that due to limitations of the OS/2 JVM
it cannot execute common REXX scripts by detault,
only via the command interpreter.

I'll create a patch to this.

Comment 3 lkishalmi 2004-09-30 17:02:46 UTC 
I'm sorry for beeing so late with the patch. I had a draft version only
when I created this issue and didn't have too much time in the last
week to improve it.
Unfortunately the testing was also not that easy as the integration of
my patched tomcat module made my NetBeans fall apart.

About the patch:
I've made a minor rearrangement in the exec method of NbProcessDescriptor:

I've moved the os field at the beginig of the method as we need to
check the presence of OS/2. I've exchanged the order of the command
array setup with the environment variable array processing, as the
value of COMSPEC environment variable could be determined.
Finally I've added the required code for OS/2
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2005-03-25 14:41:47 UTC 
Does this still apply to NB 4.x?
Comment 5 lkishalmi 2005-04-29 09:01:17 UTC 
Yes it still apply.

The real reason of this isssue in the IssueZilla that it blocks #42678.
Comment 6 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2008-02-19 13:59:57 UTC 
Reassigning to new module owner Tomas Holy.
Comment 7 Jesse Glick 2008-02-19 18:39:38 UTC 
We don't support OS/2 any more.
