So, you run it as a program in Eclipse? maybe this class is only build into a jar when you build Spark, not run it in Eclipse. To build it you haave to run an Ant buildscript and then you can run Spark with /target/build/bin/startup.bat

Anyway, do you have an issue because of this error? Is Spark login window appear after you do a log out? If it does appear, then there is no problem and startup works fine. If it doesn’t appear, then i think it can’t work like this if you run it in Eclipse. Startup.jar is launching Spark after it has exited. If you exit a program which is running in Eclipse it can’t start itself again. I think.

If you still think this error shouldn’t be shown, then do you know how to fix it? You can propose a patch.

Thanks for your answering.For now ,I haven’t met any issues because of this error.I just afraid it may cause some problems.This problem only occurs when I run it in Eclipse.The spark can login or exit out normally when I run startup.bat.I got the point that startup.jar is launching Spark after it has exited.Thanks a lot.
