[xep-support] Getting XEP to Work

[David Tolpin]

Brian,

while the academic license does not grant support hours, we are always
ready to help you through the public support list you are writing to,
xep-support at renderx.com (please consider subscribing to it as it is
explained in the installation documentation, not just posting messages
through the web -- you'll get more useful information).

Which means that your classpath is somehow misconfigured.

If you downloaded and installed the package successfully, then there should be a file matching
xep*.jar in your classpath. It is customary for Java applications to delivery all .class files
packaged in a few 'jars', Java ARchives.

This does no harm to your particular installation; it is for some older versions of Java which
do have this file and require it to be included into the class path.
