which will prevent the application from working correctly.

Hi,

pass the JVM argument -DmessengerHome=path to your jive messenger installation.

e.g. java -DmessengerHome=/opt/jivemessenger -cp ./yourclasses:/opt/jivemessenger/lib/messenger.jar com.mycom.YourClass

This would allow you to use the Jive Messenger library (messenger.jar) in your own code. You must of course completely configure Jive Messenger so that the api you are using will actually function.

Hope that helps,

Conor.

I ran into the same problem. I found out that I forgot to chown the base directory (in my case: /opt/wildfire/ ) to the user I use to run Wildfire with. (I had, however, chowned all files inside that directory. That was not enough though).
