Hi,

I was running the command bin\logstash-plugin list. The issue happened whenever i run any of the valid logstash command. Then when i looked further, the issue was due to settings in JAVA\_OPTS in my system env variable. Once I reset it, it worked fine. In logstash2.1.1, for the same issue the error was much more user friendly and helped to resolve it. Should I raise a bug to make the error more user friendly.
