When you launch [ganttproject "my file.gan"] on the command line the bash variable $1 is "my file.gan" while the ganttproject script runs, but the java app tries to open "my" instead of "my files.gan".
Here's the relevant part of the log: java.io.IOException: Unable to open the file my at net.sourceforge.ganttproject.GanttProject.openDocument(GanttProject.java:1897) at net.sourceforge.ganttproject.GanttProject.open(GanttProject.java:1867) This is due to two bugs in the ganttproject and ganttproject.sh scripts: ---- ganttproject ---- .ganttproject.sh $@ Fixed: .ganttproject.sh "$@" ---- ganttproject.sh ---- $JAVA_COMMAND -Xmx256m -classpath $CLASSPATH:$LOCAL_CLASSPATH $BOOT_CLASS $CONFIGURATION_FILE $* >$GP_HOME/ganttproject.log 2>&1 Fixed: $JAVA_COMMAND -Xmx256m -classpath $CLASSPATH:$LOCAL_CLASSPATH $BOOT_CLASS $CONFIGURATION_FILE "$@" >$GP_HOME/ganttproject.log 2>&1 ---- Resources ---- Passing parameters with the $* or the $@ does not preserve the spaces and blanks and one parameter becomes two or more if there was a space in it. If one wants to preserve those blanks the "$@" formula needs to be used. Bug report is filed on Sourceforge for ganttproject.sh: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1983774&group_id=72728&atid=535427 Patch is submitted on Sourceforge for ganttproject.sh: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1983778&group_id=72728&atid=535429 Patch is attached.
