We are trying to get the JMS inputs to work (connecting to MQ Series) but when the jms.py script is launched to initialise the modular input, we get the following java exception:
Error executing modular input : Connection refused (Connection refused) : java.lang.RuntimeException: Connection refused (Connection refused)

The java command that produces the exception is:

The java command with the "--scheme" option works fine:
