I'm trying to do Joram Barrez's Hello World tutorial (found here), but I'm running into an issue. After I install and start H2, I attempt to create the Activiti schema (ant db.create) but the build fails. Here's the output from my command prompt:
C:\activiti-5.8\setup>ant h2.install
Buildfile: C:\activiti-5.8\setup\build.xml

internal.db.install.h2:
     [echo] Installing H2 database in ../apps/h2

I'm running Activiti 5.8 on Windows 7. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? (Other than running Windows 7, of course!) Smiley Happy

Hi,

You can lookup the available Ant targets in the build.xml.
This Ant target has been changed to "internal.db.create"

Best regards,
