There's no Jess-specific environment variable (Java can't use
environment variables, of course, anyway.) Given the command (batch
X), Jess tries several places to find X. First, it assumes X is a
filename relative to the current directory. If Jess can't find the
file there, it passes X to the getResource() method of
ClassLoader. Therefore, if X is "associated with" the file Rete.class,
it should be found. If Rete.class is in a JAR file, then the file
should be in that JAR. If Rete.class is being loaded from a directory,
then X should be in that same directory.
There is an issue with Jess60a5 and those few Java2 VMs that always
return null from Class.getClassLoader(). If what you're seeing is a
NullPointerException, then you're being bitten by this bug, which will
be corrected in Jess60a6. If, on the other hand, you're seeing an
IOException, then it's simply that the file isn't in any of the right
places to be found. Check your setup and try again.
