BMUnit will not autoload Byteman agent on Windows 7

The agent can be loaded on the Java command line. This requires several steps to achieve the setup that BMUnit automatically provides: 1) add the -javaagent argument to the command line -javaagent:$PATH/byteman.jar=listener:true,boot:$PATH/byteman.jar where PATH is a path to the byteman agent jar (byteman.jar). NOtice that this argument provides a path to the agent jar, enables the agent listener (so BMUnit can load your rules) and also adds the byteman jar to the bootstrap path, ensuring that you can load rules into System classes like FileOutputStream etc. If you are have downloaded a byteman zip release then his will be the lib directory of your byteman download e.g. ${BYTEMAN_HOME}/lib If you are using maven then this will be a path to the appropriate version of the byteman jar in your local maven repository e.g. ${settings.localRepository}/org/jboss/byteman/byteman/${byteman.version}/byteman-${byteman.version}.jar 2) set the following system property (to any value) to stop BMUnit trying to load the agent org.jboss.byteman.contrib.bmunit.agent.inhibit If you are using ant then you can set this using a command line argument. If you are using maven then you can set it as a system property in your test configuration specification. 3) set the following system property (to any value) so that injection into java.lang classes is enabled org.jboss.byteman.transform.all
