Orion Install as per Cattle Drive

[Darryl Failla]

To work my way through the Cattle Drive Servlet area, I installed OrionServer 1.4.5 in NT environment. The unzipped orion folder is located in the root directory and I copied tools.jar into that folder. From c:\orion, I run java -jar orion.jar and the startup fails. I get an exception in main; java.lang.VerifyError: (class: com/evermind/server/ApplicationServer, method: ux signature: ()V) Incompatible object argument for invokespecial.
Any ideas what the problem is?

or try to download the stable version (1.5.2)

Good question. I've used version 1.4.5 and 1.5.2 and I've never run into this problem before (but I am now). While I try to find out what is causing this problem, I recommend using version 1.5.2.

I posted this as a bug in July. Today I got a response:

Corrupt binary class, fixed in 1.5.2 (and some more in 1.6.0) as you noted.

Hi Mike and Marilyn, Just to let you know that I have just installed orion 1.5.2 into e:\orion on a Windows 2000 system and started it via a Cygwin session in the background, and it works ok.
