I have installed elasticsearch 2.2.0 and it worked fine for a week, but now it didn't start. I have set both JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME. I use java version 1.8 (i.e., jdk1.8.0_201 and jre1.8.0_202). When I try to start the elasticsearch.bat it terminates with a error message of:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
