Dear Michael, Thank you for the prompt reply!
> Like if you are using a barebones java command, try adding a -cp entry, etc. Yes, putting the configuration files on the class path seems to have solved the problem, thank you! > What tooling are you using? I need a solution that is independent of any tooling. I am giving a Java course for beginners, and I must not interfere with the tools that the students are using. Again, thank you very much for your help! Best wishes, Ali
