I tried running Logstash 2.2.0 on ARM architecture (aarch64) system (w/ Fedora 22) but I am getting the following error:

```
[root@arm-01 logstash-2.2.0]# bin/logstash agent -f logstash_json.conf

```

I did some research on web and then tried building Logstash from source (commit id: 4d153d2) as follows:

```
$ git clone https://github.com/elastic/logstash.git
$ cd logstash
$ git reflog
4d153d2 HEAD@{0}: clone: from https://github.com/elastic/logstash.git

$ rake bootstrap

An error occurred while installing logstash-core-event-java (3.0.0.dev), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install logstash-core-event-java -v '3.0.0.dev'` succeeds before bundling.

```

I then tried installing 'logstash-core-event-java' gem as suggested in the error message but it failed as it is not available in the ruby gem repository ([https://rubygems.org/](https://rubygems.org/)).

```
$ gem install logstash-core-event-java -v '3.0.0.dev'
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'logstash-core-event-java' (= 3.0.0.dev) in any repository
ERROR: Possible alternatives: logstash-codec-netflow, logstash-codec-nmap, logstash-event, logstash-codec-avro, logstash-codec-cef

```

Can anyone please let me know if this is the right way to go about installing on ARM and if so, then how to install logstash-core-event-java gem?

Thank you!

kireevco on IRC #logstash channel suggested to build logstash-core-event-java gem from the source ([https://github.com/elastic/logstash/tree/master/logstash-core-event-java](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/tree/master/logstash-core-event-java)).

I tried building it using following command but it fails:

:testClasses UP-TO-DATE  
:test FAILED

```

I have pasted below the stack trace obtained from the test report. The first one is AssertionError and then there are a bunch of Null Pointer exceptions that followed.
