That line is necessary for running with the current version of hps-java; it shouldn't cause an error if your hps-java is up to date (specifically, if org.lcsim.hps.conditions.TestRunConditionsReader exists). I think the analysis you're running doesn't actually use the ConditionsReader for anything, so you can probably run without it - but updating your hps-java (all of it, with a "cvs up -d" in the root directory) will make it easier for us to give you support when something breaks. That holds generally for people working with hps-java: Having your hps-detectors and hps-java out of sync, or updating parts of the hps-java tree and not others, will give you weird and wonderful errors. When in doubt, it's a good idea to update those two packages and rebuild: cd hps-detectors cvs up -d mvn -DskipTests=true clean install cd hps-java cvs up -d mvn -DskipTests=true clean install and then any errors you see are coming from the current code, and are therefore our problem.
