It doesn't come up for me.
First it gave me a jvm error, so I specifically pointed it to the 64-bit,
instead of the 32-bit jvm, by setting jdk_home in
sodbeans.conf in the etc directory, and that fixed that problem, and started
launching it, but no dice ... no gui comes up, and no
process stays resident.
I do find it odd that it's more comfortable with the 64-bit jvm than the 32-bit
one?
Here's the output from when I do sodbeans on the commandline to capture the
console output, after I enabled the console debugging in
sodbeans.conf
