Oxygen XML Forum

I've been using the MultipleInstances setting in the oxygen.sh file for many years now, and it's essential to the way I work; after upgrading this morning to the latest release of Oxygen 28, I'm getting this error:

./oxygen.sh: 94: -Dcom.oxygenxml.MultipleInstances=true: not found

Am I missing something? Did this capability get removed?

Cheers,
Martin

For the sake of full disclosure: this is the set command:

set -- \
-Dcom.oxygenxml.MultipleInstances=true\
-Djava.security.manager=allow\
-XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow\
-XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=10\
-Dcom.oxygenxml.editor.plugins.dir="$OXYGEN_HOME/plugins"\
-Dcom.oxygenxml.app.descriptor=ro.sync.exml.EditorFrameDescriptor\
-Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=true\
-Dsun.io.useCanonPrefixCache=true\
-cp "$CP"\
ro.sync.exml.Oxygen\
"$@"

And this is the command line error:

Hi,

Without seeing the modified .sh script I can't tell what's broken, but it's the modified script, not the argument that you're using. The argument never reaches Java or Oxygen.
This indicates a problem at line 94 or adjacent lines:

./oxygen.sh: 94: -Dcom.oxygenxml.MultipleInstances=true: not found

In a clean script this should be at line 93 (just after set which is at 92). So perhaps you have inadvertently also modified something else before this line.

Try to start from scratch with a clean oxygen.sh script and add only the line with the property/argument (leading space)...

Regards,
Adrian

You're absolutely right -- I managed to introduce a typo into the script somehow. Sorry for the confusion.

Cheers,
Martin
