Hi, i’ve been using docker on linux for a month without any problem.  
I’ve tried today the windows-toolbox version and I keep facing this error when starting a container with a java programm.

> starting container process caused “exec: "java”: executable file not found in $PATH"

I’ve seen on stackoverflow that the problem is maybe the default emulated shell, but it’s not working when using /bin/sh -c

Very simple Dockerfile :

`FROM openjdk:8-alpine`  
`MAINTAINER "devxharos@gmail.com"`  
`ADD build/libs/test.jar /app/test.jar`  
`CMD ["java", "-jar", "/app/test.jar"]`

And a docker-compose.yml file

> test:  
> build: .  
> container\_name: ${COMPOSE\_PROJECT\_NAME}\_test

If somebody have an idea, thanks a lots in advance 🙂

well, not exacly, but when the container started, it couldn’t find java

so, start your container manually with -it and from its command prompt look at the environment to see what is not setup correctly
