Problem starting service created from DSC component

Hi,

I downloaded the DSC component tool for use in eclipse and created a very simple component to append messages to a log file.  I then created the component, created a jar file and installed the component in workbench as described in http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/dsc_development.html.

Now I can incorporate the component in my process.  So far so good.  Unfortunately when I go to run my process, I get an indication that the service is not running, and sure enough, when I go to the LiveCycle Admin UI I see that the service is stopped.  Unfortunately, when I try to start the service I get the following message:

MessageLogger Service failed to start

ALC-AAC-0017-000: Service(s) failed to start. It could be configuration problem.

which is fine as far as it goes, but doesn't really tell me what I can do to address the problem.  Can anyone suggest next steps to troubleshoot the problem?

Thanks!
