Why do you need this in the Elasticsearch JVM? ---

To run Elasticsearch in parallel with another product that leverage elasticsearch and kibana for Dashboard. It appears that Elasticsearch has conflict co-located with a system that has DB2 installed. ---

Do not modify the classpath of the Elasticsearch JVM. ---

This is from IBM DB2. I think there is a co-location issue. Thanks I think I have what I need. ---

Probably. Not sure why ES is not starting with the embedded JVM and with this JAR. May be look at your env variables. ---
