[rules-users] execution using "java -jar x.jar ..." fails

[Swindells, Thomas]

What's in your manifest in your jar file?

Also should it be CP="drools/*:drools/lib/*:." Rather than droos?

The application works fine in Eclipse.

In Eclipse, I created a jar file x.jar from the .class and a few .drl files, and copied x.jar to /tmp/x/

Now, in /tmp/x
   CP="droos/*:drools/lib/*"
   java -cp "$CP" -jar dpvt.jar par...
This fails on the first attempt to access any class from a drools jar file.

In /tmp/x, I unpack x.jar and call
   CP="droos/*:drools/lib/*:."
   java -cp "$CP" rss.aws.init.Main par...
AND THIS WORKS!

So, what is different when starting a Java program with java -jar as opposed
to java x.y.Main?

The stack dump is not very informative:

 Any ideas?
