[kepler-users] Running Kepler from the commandline

[Matthew Jones]

Hi Niels,

Its probably a classpath problem that could be fixed by modifying the 
shell script.  I'm not sure of the state of the script in the rc3 
release.  We've had a lot of trouble with this, so Dan Crawl has been 
working on refactoring the startup scripts for Kepler so that there is a 
single shell script that can launch with or without a GUI.  This is 
checked into the current development version of Kepler, can be found in 
the nightly builds, and will be released with Kepler 1.0.0 within the 
next few weeks.  I think you will find this new version of the scripts 
substantially more robust and easier to work with.
