Leiningen repl EOF exception in project - windows

Question

Just installed Leiningen 2.1.2 (lein.bat) on Windows XP in D:\lein\, added this dir to path.
Then I started repl
D:\lein>lein repl
and it runs fine.
Also it runs in other dir and can execute commands well.
Then i made sample project 'helloworld':
D:\lein>lein new app helloworld
Lein made project dir with sample app.
Then I go to project dir with
D:\lein>cd helloworld
And now i run command inside project folder:
D:\lein\helloworld>lein repl
and get this error:

REPL server launch timed out.
I feel I missed something or my system messed somehow. Anyone have ideas?

Answer 1

SOLVED
Installed JDK instead of JRE and it works ok.
ALSO
Problem can raise when 'java.exe' from jre-s comes first on the path, i have cleaned system by recursively looking 'where' java.exe is and removing its presence from path everywhere except jdk path.
It can be :
under windows\system32 folder /just delete it from there
under jdk-s path-s /just remove that path-s from $PATH variable

Answer 2

You have to change lein version in your script lein.bat from 2.1.3 to 2.1.0 LEIN_VERSION=2.1.0 then enter the command lein self-install in the command prompt

Answer 3

This worked for me:
remove directory %home%.lein with all contents/files under it
download win installer http://leiningen-win-installer.djpowell.net/
install leiningen
run repl like this:
[WINKEY + R]
CMD.EXE [ENTER]
C:>\ lein repl

Answer 4

Upgrading from jdk 1.6 to jdk 1.7 fixed that problem for me.
