Hi, I just pulled .14 Snapshot from master, built, and am running into an odd problem: $ bin/elasticsearch Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: > org/elasticsearch/bootstrap/Bootstrap > Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: > org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap > at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202) > at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) > at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190) > at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:307) > at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301) > at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248) > Could not find the main class: org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap. > Program will exit. Has something changed in the build process? I used 'gradlew clean release' to build. ...Thanks, ...Ken ---

Hey, Works ok for me. Did you by any chance try and run the elasticsearch script not out of the (extracted) distribution? Usually people get it when they try and run it from the root bin/... . -shay.banon On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 7:04 PM, Kenneth Loafman [kenneth@loafman.com](mailto:kenneth@loafman.com)wrote: > Hi, > > I just pulled .14 Snapshot from master, built, and am running into an odd > problem: > > $ bin/elasticsearch > > Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: > > > org/elasticsearch/bootstrap/Bootstrap > > Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: > > org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap > > at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202) > > at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) > > at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190) > > at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:307) > > at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301) > > at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248) > > Could not find the main class: org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap. > > Program will exit. > > Has something changed in the build process?

I was running from project itself, so that was a red-herring. When running from an updated node I get: ken@stealth:/opt/es-node0$ {elasticsearch/0.14.0-SNAPSHOT/2010-11-22T17:04:25}: Initialization Failed ... - NoClassSettingsException[Failed to load class setting [gateway.type] with value [s3]] ClassNotFoundException[s3] I copied cloud-aws from build/distributions/plugins/elasticsearch-cloud-aws-0.14.0-SNAPSHOT.zip to /opt/es-node$N/plugins/cloud-aws.zip just like always. It seems not to recognize that anymore. ...Ken On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 11:08 AM, Shay Banon [shay.banon@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.banon@elasticsearch.com)wrote: > Hey, > > Works ok for me.

Hi, Since 0.12, the plugins needs to be in their extracted form under the plugins directory. -shay.banon On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 9:25 PM, Kenneth Loafman [kenneth@loafman.com](mailto:kenneth@loafman.com)wrote: > I was running from project itself, so that was a red-herring.
