cannot run cobol jvm classes after update java 8_51 to java 8_131

Hi everyone,

I am doing some test from the recently published Visual Cobol ebook by Micro Focus, the test is simple, but I'm trying to understand what's is wrong when I upgrade the java 8 jdk version.

• step 1 - create a HelloWorld.cbl with a simple sentence: display "Hello World"
• step 2 - compile with cobol HelloWorld.cbl jvmgen;
• step 3 - with java 8 update 51 run (from the Visual Cobol Command line 32 or 64 bits) the demo : java HelloWorld and runs ok
• step 4 - uninstall java 8 update 51 and install java 8 update 131 (the latest), add the environment variables JAVA_HOME, CLASSPATH and add JAVA_HOME to the beginning of PATH variable
  • JAVA_HOME=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_131
  • CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\\lib
  • PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\\bin;C:\\WINDOWS\\system32;C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\Wbem;C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\;C:\\Users\\Aheredia\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps;
• step 5: start a visual cobol command line (32 bits or 64 bits) and try to run the demo:
  • java HelloWorld fail to run with message Error: Could not find or load main class HelloWorld

Why I cannot update the java version on my system and keep running the jvm cobol classes? 

regards,
