Description

I follow the quickstart guide and create a test application, and when I try to run it with :

grails run-app

I have the following error :

" [native2ascii] Converting 1 file from D:\grails\samples\test\grails-app\i18n to
D:\grails\samples\test\web-app\WEB-INF\grails-app\i18n
Error starting Sun's native2ascii: "

I had the same problem and corrected it by making my GRAILS_HOME variable point to a JDK as opposed to a JRE (Java Runtime) version of Java.

Why isn't this issue fixed? I'm experiencing the same problem on Ubuntu fiesty. What's the solution?

Solution is to make JAVA_HOME point to JDK, not JRE (there isn't native2ascii in JRE).

I found this problem by having my JAVA_HOME pointing to a jrockit JDK. It's not a JRE it is the JDK. Is this a use of an unsupported sun class? This is a blocker for upgrading to 2.0 for me because sun's jdk is incompatible with OpenVZ which is what my production environment is. I also get much better build times from jrockit. Is there a workaround?

I had my JAVA_HOME set correctly to a JDK, but still got the same error.
As a workaround, I had to disable the option grails.enable.native2ascii in my Groovy config (conf/Config.groovy).
