"Using TextInput in Java app (No operator description object given)"

Hi,

I built a small Java application (actually the code is Groovy, but that shouldn't have an effect) which uses the Textinput and it worked fine while Rapidminer 4.1 and Textplugin 4.0beta.

I upgraded to 4.2 (Rapidminer and Text Plugin) and receive now the error log message

I reduced the code to the essential part.

import com.rapidminer.RapidMiner;
import com.rapidminer.Process;
import com.rapidminer.operator.*;
import com.rapidminer.tools.OperatorService;

RapidMiner.init(false, false, false, true);
OperatorChain textInput = (OperatorChain) OperatorService.createOperator("TextInput");
I'm sure someelse had the same problem before, but I wasn't able to find a post describing this.

    I was able to solve the problem, the property rapidminer.home system property was not pointing to the right directory  :(
    System.setProperty("rapidminer.home", "D:\\Applications\\RapidMiner-4.2");
