RE: Error while running the merlin command with any option

I'm sure the experienced guys will step in right away if my suggestion is
wrong...

Since you're running on Windows, try using a backslash instead of a forward
slash. I.e.:

$ merlin -execute target\hello-1.1.jar


Judging by the error, it looks like CLI is interpreting your arg as an
option, which on Windows is signalled by using a forward slash.

Just a thought. May be wrong.


Cheers
