Thank You Stephen for so fast response to my problem! May be it's heppening because I was trying to run it from eclipse ... but then I tried to do this with jettry which was started from maven and I've got the same result.
here is my merlin start method (actually I copied it from tutorial) public void initComponentManager()throws Exception{ InitialContextFactory initial = new DefaultInitialContextFactory( "merlin" ); File home = initial.getHomeDirectory(); initial.setCacheDirectory( new File( home, "system" ) ); InitialContext context = initial.createInitialContext(); String spec = "artifact:merlin/merlin-impl#3.3.0"; Artifact artifact = Artifact.createArtifact( spec ); Builder builder = context.newBuilder( artifact ); Factory factory = builder.getFactory(); KernelCriteria criteria = (KernelCriteria) factory.createDefaultCriteria(); m_kernel = (Kernel) factory.create( criteria ); } Regards, Yuriy Ivanov. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen McConnell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Avalon framework users'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 06, 2004 6:00 PM Subject: RE: could not start merlin from main method > > A couple of questions: > > 1.
