NullPointerException when JWEBSOCKET_HOME unset

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Do not set a value for the env variable JWEBSOCKET_HOME
2. Start jWebSocket server.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect a nice error message saying that the JWEBSOCKET_HOME environment 
variable is missing.  Instead get this:

jWebSocket Ver. 0.9.0.0623 beta (32bit)

    at org.jwebsocket.factory.JWebSocketFactory.start(JWebSocketFactory.java:42)
    at org.jwebsocket.console.JWebSocketServer.main(JWebSocketServer.java:38)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.9.5, Linux

This has been verified now, jWebSocket now optionally can be loaded from 
classpath at %classpath%/conf/jWebSocket.xml.
