Re: Using Cayenne without Maven

Hi Ali,

What tooling are you using?

Cayenne should be looking for that file at the root/top of one of the
classpaths. Maven will package src/main/resource up and make it available
at the root, but you can specify other classpath values yourself. Like if
you are using a barebones java command, try adding a -cp entry, etc.
