Robot framework swing library does not connect to application

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi ,

Am a newbie in robot and am trying to automate the GUI install of our product 
but the robotframework does not connect to it using the swing library
java version - 1.7
OS - linux x64
robotframework-2.8.1.jar
swinglibrary-1.9.1.jar

The txt file that i am using is as below
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** Settings ***
Library         RemoteApplications

*** Variables ***
${MYVAR}        <full path to the exe>/runInstaller
${LIB DIRECTORY}  ${CURDIR}

*** Test Cases ***
Demonstration
    Start Web Start Application  Demo Application
    Use Application
    Close Application

*** Keywords ***
Start Web Start Application
    [Arguments]  ${name}
    Start Application  ${name}  ${MYVAR} 2 > error.txt  120 seconds  ${LIB DIRECTORY}
    Take Library Into Use  SwingLibrary

Use Application
    Select From Main Menu  Test Menu|Show Dialog
    selectDialog  Message
    pushButton  OK
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Command used to run it - 
 java -cp robotframework-2.8.1.jar:jvmconnector-1.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar:remoteapplications-2.0.jar:swinglibrary-1.9.1.jar org.robotframework.RobotFramework p.txt

The application seems to have gotten launched as i see relevant process running 
in backgroud,though the UI did not come up.

Also seen it if i set up the JAVA_TOOLS_OPTION 
as JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-javaagent:<cur dir where all other jars are 
presen>/jvmconnector-1.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar=<cur dir where all other 
jars are present>  , it hangs.

Could any one please help ?

Regards.
