Hello, I'm trying to make an application that integrates a process from rapid miner (still learning how to do). My problem is that the line  rapidminer.init() outputs the following errors:
Dez 19, 2013 2:03:31 PM com.rapidminer.tools.ParameterService init

The problem is obviously on ensuring the path to the home directory (on red) but how can i do that?

Thanks in advance

    resolved by using Rapid miner 4.6.  ???

    Hello,

      I would not recommend the version 4.6, there were a lot of improvements since then.
      The RapidMiner home is checked by this method in the RapidMiner#init(): ParameterService#ensureRapidMinerHomeSet(), which calls Launcher#ensureRapidMinerHomeSet(), which looks for the
    rapidminer.home
    property.
      Hope this helps to solve your problem, though the guessing might was lucky in your case too.
    Cheers, gabor

    True but what truly means home directory? The only way i see to resolve this problem is using:
    System.setProperty("rapidminer.home", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Geral\\workspace\\LinkMiningModule\\Resources\\RM5.3");
        RapidMiner.init();
    But where should i point it? of course i want my project to be portable. Thus i have to use relative paths. Do i have to add RapidMiner libs to my project?

    Well, you can have an option to specify that property value in your program (or keep the value passed as -Drapidminer.home=... command line argument).
    It should point to the path of the RapidMiner installation (where you have the lib, resources, ... folders, in my case: C:\Program Files\Rapid-I\RapidMiner5 for the 5.3.15 CE version).

    Hi,

    please check this thread, especially question 4: http://rapid-i.com/rapidforum/index.php/topic,5807.0.html
    You need to tell RapidMiner in which mode to launch.

    Regards,
    Marco
