clojure issue

[SreenijaK]

Hi,
When i run
d = Duckling()

I get the following issue.

File "C:\Users\hi\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\duckling\duckling.py", line 53, in init
self.clojure = jpype.JClass('clojure.java.api.Clojure')

File "C:\Users\hi\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\jpype_jclass.py", line 73, in JClass
raise _RUNTIMEEXCEPTION.PYEXC("Class %s not found" % name)

java.lang.RuntimeExceptionPyRaisable: java.lang.RuntimeException: Class clojure.java.api.Clojure not found

How do i fix the same

I met the same issue，could you fix it？

I found a solution. I had been importing another python library that already initialized a JVM. So when I tried to initialize Duckling(), it skipped over the JVM creation and also skipped over the additions to the classpath. I was able to fix it by removing the other library which creates a JVM. But I would guess there is also a way to use the jvm_started=True flag and load the required jars into your existing JVM manually. Hope this helps!
