Set wildcard classpath for windows start batch

[dr0i]

The generated start script for Windows consists of a huge classpath. This classpath was too long, resulting in an error when executing the start script. Using wildcard to include libraries shortens the classpath so that now error occurs when executing the start script.

To test this:

./gradlew clean;  ./gradlew distZip

then look in ./metafix-runner/build/scripts/metafix-runner.bat and execute that on windows @maipet.
[edit:] That would not work resp. is not explained precisely enough. Step-by-step:
unzip metafix-runner/build/distributions/$distributionVersion.zip ( This will unpack to a folder named $distributionVersion.)
To run the start scripts execute the script residing in ./$distributionVersion/bin/, depending on your OS (Windows: metafix-runner.bat or *NIX like: metafix-runner). Note that $distributionVersion is a variable and should be substituted by you with e.g. metafix-runner-1.1.3-SNAPSHOT.)

Resolves #371.

@blackwinter had worked quite a bit on gradle scripts , so you may want to have look here?

[maipet]

tested on Windows, it works. (The generated runner.bat as standalone runner is in the folder metafix-runner/build/distributions/metafix-runner-1.1.3-SNAPSHOT.zip )

[blackwinter]

There's a simpler solution that also maintains consistency between Windows and Unix (even though the latter doesn't necessarily require this change, it's preferable that both behave in the same way).

[dr0i]

@maipet just to be on the save side - could you test on Windows the new commit by @blackwinter ?

[maipet]

@dr0i with the last changes I got an error message while executing the gradlew distZip

The folder distributions is not created. To be on the safe side, I checked it again with the previous version (ffa5b7a): it worked

[dr0i]

@blackwinter something is wrong , presumably with be72f98 . Can you have a look?

[blackwinter]

Works for me on Linux. No idea why Windows behaves differently.

@maipet: Can you try the following?

diff --git metafix-runner/build.gradle metafix-runner/build.gradle

[maipet]

Thx! Now it works, with added doNotTrackState the error has been fixed.

[blackwinter]

Fixed in a2fbff1.
