[rules-users] Still can't create a standalone application

[MarkA]

Okay, many thanks for this.

Firstly, I apologise if I am asking these questions in the wrong place, I
don't want to waste people's time but it is *very* frustrating for new users
when problems like this occur. I scoured the documentation, the quick-start
guide, the faqs and searched on the internet but could find no help. From
some of the responses I have received from the various sources it seems that
I am not the only person hitting these issues.

Secondly, it looks like my error is that I set the CLASSPATH to point at the
directories, .../JAR and .../JAR/lib, not each individual .jar file as in
your batch file. I had tried it with just the small set of .jars that you
have and, as far as I can tell, the only difference is using the directories
in the CLASSPATH variable. I'll change that in mine and see what happens but
I can compile and run the example you sent which is fantastic.

Many thanks again and sorry for being stupid.
