JDime script does not work

[mernst]

I tried to follow the instructions for running JDime after building it.

The JDime script does not appear at the location stated in README.md. See #23.

Running build/scripts/JDime yields

Error: Could not find or load main class de.fosd.jdime.Main
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: de.fosd.jdime.Main

I edited build/scripts/JDime by hand to change build/lib/JDime.jar to build/libs/JDime.jar.

Then, running build/scripts/JDime yields

Error: Unable to initialize main class de.fosd.jdime.Main
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cli/ParseException

These scripts are produced by the Gradle application plugin. The plugin places the scripts in the build/scripts folder temporarily before the distribution is assembled in build/install/JDime. This causes your first problem.

You need to call the JDime script from the build/install/JDime/bin folder. The script will then setup the classpath correctly and the second problem will not occur. Make sure to use Java 8 for running JDime.

I was using ./gradlew assemble which I am accustomed to creating all the artifacts, whereas I should have used ./gradlew installDist.
