Issue starting datadog java agent

@connorwescott42 . TL;DR: It seems you might have something odd happening with your permissions. Perhaps the process only has write permissions for that directory?

At that point in the code, the agent tried to write out some jars to be loaded onto the classpath. This might be caused by the agent being unable to write those to the file system. Can you try launching your application in a debugger (attaching to it via remote debugging won't work) and seeing if those files were successfully written to the file system? If so, ensure that it has permissions to read the jar file it wrote.

Thanks!

@tylerbenson Thanks for your assistance. After placing a breakpoint on the failing line, I noticed that the jars were being stored in "C:\Windows\Temp", which is a secure directory. I simply changed my System Environment variable to set TMP and TEMP to a more appropriate value ("%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp") and it is working now!

Thanks again.

We are using the generic temp directory as identified by the JVM. Do you have any ideas for how we could improve this process?

Glad to hear you got it figured out though.
