ES doesn't start : 1) NoSuchFieldError[LUCENE_31]2) NoClassDefFoundError[Could not initialize class org.elasticsearch.common.lucene.Lucene]

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello,
I have just decided to use ES and downloaded the archive
elasticsearch-0.16.0. On trying to execute elasticsearch.bat, I get
the following error.

[2011-05-09 09:24:27,357][ERROR][bootstrap ]
{elasticsearch/0.16.
0}: Initialization Failed ...

  1. NoSuchFieldError[LUCENE_31]2) NoClassDefFoundError[Could not
    initialize class
    org.elasticsearch.common.lucene.Lucene]

I see that the Lucene jars are available in the lib folder. Any idea
what could be the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Problem resolved.
My CLASSPATH was pointing to lucene 3.0 and hence was not picking up
the latest version from lib.
