Running grouped properties from the command line

[benoitds]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I'm a master student at Ghent University, Belgium. For my thesis about
composable combinators/search heuristics for constraint programming,
I'd like to use ScalaCheck to check properties of the combinators.

Recently I've written the generators and some basic properties.
I managed to compile them, but when I try to run them, Scala cannot
figure out how to run the target.

Therefore I've tried to run an example from the ScalaCheck user manual
(http://code.google.com/p/scalacheck/wiki/UserGuide) from the
"Grouping Properties" section. Same error arised, also when a friend
of mine tried on his computer. My terminal output is below. I use
Windows 7, 32 bit, ScalaCheck version is 2.9.0-1.9 and my Scala
version is 2.9.0.1
Could you provide me with an idea of what's going wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Hi Benoit,

I think that, on Windows, the classpath delimiter is ';' instead of
':'.
So just try running this instead:

scala -cp scalacheck_2.9.0-1.9.jar;. StringSpecification

Best regards,

Hi Rickard,

Thank you for your kind help! You were entirely right about the
classpath separator on Windows. The StringSpecification example now
works like a charm.
Best regards,
Benoit Desouter
