Only Working on Windows 8.1

[rselias]

I have courgette running perfectly on two computers running Windows 8.1, but when I tried to run a project using courgette on Windows Server 2012 or on three different computers running Windows 10, it fails. Seems like it might be generating a classpath that's too long?

This is a known issue with Java class paths and Windows operating systems. You can try moving your project libs from .m2 or .gradle directory to C:\libs or similar as this would shorten the path.

Another option is to use Courgette-JVM 2.4.0 with JDK9 or JDK10.

When using Java 9 upwards I no longer build a class path using the URLClassLoader and instead use Java modules.

Using JDK 9 or 10 and Courgette-JVM 2.4.0 should resolve this issue.
