Ya know, sometimes you just can't help hating computers.
Came into the office this morning, started my computer, and tried to start Glassfish from the Start menu. I figured I'd get the same exception as yesterday, then I'd reboot to the 'latest known good configuration' and see if that made a difference. It seemed to take a long while (I was sure it was going to time out and throw the same exception), but it started!
Once again, I have not made any changes to my machine. I haven't yet gotten the results of the system scan that was performed yesterday, nor the file on the scan from 10/8, so I have no idea if anything had changed (or even if the scan would reveal whatever change might have been causing the problem). And of course I have no idea what, if anything, might have gotten changed last night, that would have repaired it. I suppose it was just lingering effects of the full moon, or the alignment of the planets.
Thanks,
Dave
