OK, Frustration was running hight just now, so before anyone answers:
I'm not sure in what way, but I messed up my classpath. I've updated http://wiki.neo4j.org/content/Neo_Shell_Guide to use the jar names that are included in the current versions so that might help some. However, I'm still getting $ java -cp neo-1.0-b6.jar:jta-spec1_0_1.jar:shell-1.0-b6.jar org.neo4j.util.shell.StartRemoteClient neobase/ Can't start client shell: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "neobase/" It seems that the first argument is being interpreted as an integer -- port number maybe? Also, adding lines to the code that actuall "do" something (neo.getReferenceNode()) seems to have made things less strange, the program is now returning. Most people are probably wondering, like me, how to get keep Java running and how to make it shut down nicely (something about a timeout loop and a shutdown signal?) so adding that to the example code would be helpful.
