Problem with starting Tomcat in debug Mode, Win XP

Question

Hi,
if i go to cmd and C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\bin
and write: catalina jpda start, it says
C:\Documents and Settings\bartek>cd C:\Program Files\Apache Software Founda
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\bin>catalina jpda start
Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5
Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5
Using JAVA_HOME: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_09
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\bin>
And it finishes.... Server is off
If i write: catalina start , new Tomcat window opens and the server starts
This is my catalina.bat
@echo off
if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" setlocal

Answer 1

paths with spaces in them are a problem. surround them with quotes and see if that helps.
why does the Java /bin appear twice?
why don't you use the JAVA_HOME variable that you set? don't repeat yourself.
