what I change in genreport.bat
set THIS_DIR=C:\Birt\birt420\ReportEngine

even though error , it generate the output . am i missing something ?

similar error when run genReport.sh on opensuse tumbleweed openjdk 24

I don't know why this is, but definitely this is wrong:
-cp "C:\Birt\birt420\ReportEngine\lib*"
It should be:
-cp "C:\Birt\birt420\ReportEngine\lib\*"
(note the backslash before the star), resulting from this line in genReport.bat:

And the little command sequence in lines 12 to 14 should set THIS_DIR correctly.

It seems like you tinkered with the genreport.bat file. Why?

i use the original also same error on windows or linux
i check the line you mention
set BIRTCLASSPATH=%THIS_DIR%\lib*

since it generate output correctly , I just ignore the message .
thank for reply
