I forgot to add:
The output also says:
------------------
please check that /etc/hosts and DNS are consistent
------------------
It would be helpful if the message would say which approach produces which
output.

And another thing: the missing class issue seems to be easy to solve: it looks
like in the Makefile the line
------------------
all: compile
------------------
Should be:
------------------
all: compile java
------------------
Following the instructions in the README then results in a compiled .jar file.

the Java API is optional so we can not add it to the default make target
nevertheless, I added more verbose debug output as you suggested
(rev1009-rev1012)

Ok, but could you then please say explicitly in the README file that you have
to do 'make java' for the Java API?

The README file is just a quick summary of what is written in the
user-dev-guide and only contains most essential parts. There you can find a
section about the Java-API and how to use it (as well as the JSON API which is
also not described in the README).
I'd thus rather keep it that way.

The bottom line is still that anyone freshly configuring and compiling Scalaris
according to the README will end up with a system where 'scalarisctr
checkinstallation' fails, because the Java .jar file cannot be found. Surely
that is an undesirable situation?
And if you don't want to change the current situation, I think it would be
really helpful to have more explicit pointers to the text about Java and JSON.
There is only one reference to the user-dev-guide, and that is at the top of
the README. Everyone will first try to configure things from the README, and
there is not a hint there that you need to know more for Java or JSON.

Please note that as of rev1012 'scalarisctl checkinstallation' will not fail
anymore if the java api hasn't been compiled - it will properly complain about
the missing java files
