**Where are you getting the Executor, DefaultExecutor, DefaultExecuteResultHandler, and CommandLine classes from?** I just borrowed ideas from other threads on this blog that were discussing issues similar to the one I’ve been facing. This is where I’ve been getting the help from:  
[Launching and stopping appium server programmtically](https://discuss.appium.io/t/launching-and-stopping-appium-server-programmtically/700/2)  
and  
[http://megettingerror.blogspot.in/2015/01/java-code-to-start-appium-server-on-mac.html](http://megettingerror.blogspot.in/2015/01/java-code-to-start-appium-server-on-mac.html)  
but it doesn’t seem to work of my code. Perhaps I’m missing something else?

**What is the code that sets up your Appium Driver (what are the lines involved that say new AndroidDriver(…) or new IOSDriver(…))?** I’m using appium’s DesiredCapabilities API that allows me to set up the iOS driver.
