Using msysgit for the git instance and a play 1.2.4 RC-1 I was able to start play-as from eclipse using the following application.conf:

# Full path to default the Play! executable
path.play = C:\\play-1.2.4-RC1\\play.bat

# Full path to the GIT executable
path.git = C:\\msysgit\\bin\\git.exe

Git.exe complained about a missing libiconv-2.dll so I copied that into the msysgit directory. This was not displayed on the server console. I had to manually run the commands executed by the server.

When actually starting the server the following happens :

Error: no `server' JVM at `C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\server\jvm.dll'.

This should be shown on the system console (it's also not.)

So this tickets provides two fixes:

* Better error logging from command output on windows
* Check what is wrong with the server JVM (need JDK?)
