Unable to issue a mfp start command on Windows 10

Question

I've just installed the version 7.1 of the MFP CLI on a Windows 10 VMware. JDK 1.8.0_92 is installed, and the JAVA_HOME env variable has been setup accordingly

Below is the error I get when trying the mfp start:

C:\Users\johan\Documents\Workspaces\MobileFirst\SampleHybridApp>mfp start -d

Other MFP CLI command seems to be working since I was able to add a WindowsPhone environment to my Hybrid app project...

Could someone please provide some help? Is the MFP CLI 7.1 supported on Windows 10?

Thanks

Answer 1

In MFP 7.1, JDK 1.8 is not supported. Please use JDK 1.7.

Run mfp stop and try creating a new hybrid app to see if the issue is still occurring.

You can also remove the .war file and start the server again and it will rebuild the war file.
