Hi I downl;oaded the latest examples on 10-Dec-2008 and can't seem to get commandLineClient to run. It appears as if the deployer is not being initialised in EmbeddedBootstrap. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. I'm running under Windows XP as follows: C:\examples\User_Guide\gettingStarted\commandLineClient\target\client-cl.dir>"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_07\bin\java" -Djava.ext.dirs=./lib -cp client-1.0.0.jar org.jboss.examp le.client.Client Client DEBUG [08-01-2009 13:52:53] KernelFactory - Starting JBoss Kernel construction...
