I have written a Java application that reads a filesystem based modeshape repository.

The application locates the repository configuration file (UsageAnalyzer.json) in the same folder as the application. The config file contains:

{

   "name" : "UsageAnalyzer",

   "workspaces" : {

      "predefined" : ["usageWorkspace"],

      "default" : "default",

      "allowCreation" : true

   },

   "security" : {

      "anonymous" : {

         "roles" : ["readonly", "readwrite", "admin"],

         "useOnFailedLogin" : false

      }

   },

   "storage": {

      "persistence" : {

         "type" : "file",

         "path": "UsageAnalyzer"

      }

   }

}

When running in Eclipse:

- I have copied the config file into the target folder

- this is the working directory for the code executing from the JAR file in that folder, and the code finds the config based on the working directory

- I created the UsageAnalyzer folder, containing the modeshape.repository file, in the project root folder (ie "C:\projects\TreeViewer\UsageAnalyzer")

- the application locates the config file properly and opens/reads the repository file properly

Next I go to the command line in Windows:

- copy the JAR file from the target folder (along with the config file) to a new temp folder

- copy the UsageAnalyzer folder into the new folder

- execute the following: java -cp .;TreeViewer-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar com.avaloncs.treeview.TreeViewer

I get the following error:

I have tried for many days to determine what is causing the error. I have even done remote debugging of the application, using the modeshape source.

But I have not been able to figure this out.

Does anyone have any suggestions that I can try?

My requirement is that this application must be able to run from command line, with external configuration file and external modeshape repository file.
