Larry, Lots of reading and testing this last two weeks. I downloaded the standalone version and installed. Ran the run.bat file. The DOS screen ran and automatically closed. I typed tin the http://127.0.0.1:9999/timeline in Firefox but get a Page Load Error. Tried a couple different addresses and still nothing. Could the URI be in error? I looked at tha batch command and tried to follow the logic <java -jar lib/ start.jar jetty.xml>. From the command prompt, I received an error stating <'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file>. Is the first statement in the string invalid or not needed? When I looked at the directory, I did not find the jetty xml in the lib/ folder as well. Any ideas?
