    mvn(function(err, mvnResults) {
      if (err) {
        return console.error('could not resolve maven dependencies', err);
      }
      mvnResults.classpath.forEach(function(c) {
        console.log('adding ' + c + ' to classpath');
        java.classpath.push(c);
      });
      
      var Version = java.import('org.apache.lucene.util.Version');
