XMLbeans scomp fails with “java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified”

If you are using xmlbeans on Windows to bind your schema to Java types then you are probably using a tool bundled with the distribution called scomp or Schema Compiler. For schema compiler to work you will need to correctly setup computer environment by installing JDK. You can follow through the following check-list to detect if any additional installation steps are required on your machine setup:
- Start->Run->type cmd and type java in the command line. If no error then your setup is correct; otherwise setup JAVA_HOME and add %JAVA_HOME%/bin to your Path environment variable and try again.
- Start->Run->type cmd and type scomp in the command line. If no error then your setup is correct; otherwise setup XMLBEANS_HOME and add %XMLBEANS_HOME%/bin to your Path environment variable and try again.
Then run scomp. Depending on your wishes you will probably wan’t to create a .jar file of the Java types scomp compiles from schema files. I used the following command line:
scomp -d schema -src src -out my_schema_1_0_0.jar ./schema/mySchema.xsd |
where mySchema.xsd file was stored in ./schema folder.
If you get my_schema_1_0_0.jar, by some coincidence then kudos to you, but most likely you will end up with something similar to this error:
