JES won't start #109

Closed jdbrody closed 6 years ago

jdbrody commented 6 years ago

Hello, I'm trying to run JES on a Gentoo Linux box, using Oracle's JDK: java -version java version "1.8.0_144" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)

When I try to run jes, I get an error $ sh jes.sh Error: Could not find or load main class JESstartup The java file is definitely there, and it appears to be in class.jar, which is included in the classpath. Could this be an issue of needing OpenJDK rather than Oracle's JDK?

Update: tried downloading the source and building with ant. Same issue unfortunately.

Update: I think the paths were getting mixed up because the directory was on a Dropbox sync. Building off a purely local directory seems to work o.k.
