Is there a way to launch the staging version of a project using Zulu JRE? ---

What version of ignition are you using? if you are on 8.0+ then no. staging and publishing has been removed in favor of (the recommended) development and production gateway configuration. thanks, Jonathan C ---

On 7.9.6, we’re just going to be using whatever your system’s JRE is - so if you have a Zulu JRE installed, and properly set as your default (OS-specific, but basically set `JAVA_HOME=`) that’s what the client/designer will use. ---

So, if your JRE doesn’t include `javaws`, that’s up to your JRE. You can use the native client launchers, which don’t require `javaws`, because they don’t use JNLPs to launch: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Native+Client+Launchers](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Native+Client+Launchers) ---

Great, how do I launch the staging version of a project with he native client launcher? ---

Add `-Djavaws.sr.project.version=Staging` to the command line; exactly where to put that can vary but there’s details at the end of the user manual article. ---

Ignition: 7.9.17 Java: OpenJDK 1.8.0\_322 Running the following, with the values in \<\> replaced, keeps throwing an exception. comand ```auto C:\Ignition\ClientLauncher\clientlauncher.exe project= gateway.addr=:80/main scope=C windowmode=window -Djavaws.sr.project.version=Staging ``` exception ```auto Java process launch failed with error code 1: Error: Could not find or load main class me ``` I have also tried passing tag values, per the [docs](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Native+Client+Launchers) and I get the same error, but sometimes with a different class name. Could someone point me in the right direction? ---

Can you get the full error? What you provided looks cut off. edit: also you’re not including the angle brackets in the project argument, right? ---

Woops…just found the problem. I was somehow passing in an object instead for the project name. There is no issue.
