#30 0.17.1 broken "out of the box"

[David Roux]

A clean install of J 0.17.1 fails on initial startup with the
error:

Nov 12 23:34:33.352 ERROR Session.restore unable to
load C:\.j\session.xml

Installing an older version (which creates session.xml),
then upgrade resolves it.

I think the actual bug here is that with a clean install,
the initial startup causes several bogus error messages to
be written to the log.

On my system (Linux), if you ignore those messages,
everything actually works fine.

Or am I missing something? Is the behavior different on Windows?

In any case, I'll fix the error messages for the next
release. Sorry for the confusion.

when I try to start (java -jar j.jar) it does not find the
gnu.regexp library and throws an exception:

I downloaded the binary version (tar.gz)

I answer to your question, Peter, no, the Windows binary
doesn't load at all. Java is one of the few languages I don't
know, so I can't be of much help otherwise.

Thanks.
