Subject: Re: Commons Math - Problem with deprecated OptimizationException
 using NelderMead.optimize

My sincere apologies to you Gilles and other members of this forum.
Indeed, there was a problem with the =91runtime=92 classpath. Apparently,
in addition to adding the jar in the Java Build Path pane, Libraries
tab (invoked in the project properties in the Eclipse) [=91compile time
path=92], one also has to add the jar in the Classpath tab of =91Run
Configuration=92, which I forgot to it! Sorry about this unnecessary
disturbance.
Although this resolves my initial problem, I still have a more serious
problem, but I am afraid it is out of the interest and scope of this
forum. The problem is that I am using NelderMead (example below) in
the Repast Simphony Elipse environment. The commons-math-1.1 is
already integrated and is a part of Repast Simphony Development
Libraries. So, it does not like the fact that I want to use (import)
commons-math-2.2!
NelderMead unfortunalty does not seem to be included in the
commons-math-1.1 and trying to fool Reapst by replacing
commons-math-2.2 with commons-math-1.1 (after changing its name to
commons-math-1.1) did not helped!

I am not expecting to have an answer about this specific case problem
here, although I will surely appreciate if someone has an idea.

In any case, sorry and thank you again.

Regards,
Babak
