I’m playing around with Ignition; however, when I try to launch the installed designer, nothing launches.  
I’m running Windows and Ignition 8.0.2.  
Launching Designer shows a single process OpenJDK Platform Binary.  
No logs display after the initial declaration of “using INFO”. I’ve tried changing the logging variable in the logging.propery files to ALL but no change to logging output.  
Any thoughts on this black box?
