Bug Description

********************** the observed behaviour

I have four monitors. If I initiate Sikuli from monitor 1, everything works. If I initiate Sikuli from any of the other monitors, I get the errors I posted above and the IDE never starts. You can see that the exception is within the mouse initialization. It doesn't matter if I'm launching Sikuli from the command line or by double-clicking the jar file. I have to launch from monitor 1 to use it.

I can put the IDE on any monitor once it is running. The matching preview function can find an image on any monitor. However, when Sikuli runs, it only finds images on monitor 1.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I deleted an older version of SikuliX and copied the latest jython-standalone-2.7.1.jar, sikulix.jar, and sikulixapi.jar. I've installed JRE and then JDK 8.0.2 and rebooted my machine. When I click the jython and api jars, I get a wait cursor for a few seconds, and then nothing. When I click on the sikulix.jar, I get an error that Neither Jython nor Jruby are available, so the IDE won't open.
I've spent about 2 hours trying various installs of Java and reading google and this forum, and can't find anything helpful.
I'm on Windows 10 and have run Sikuli before without issue. Should I just go back to the old version, or is there something I can do?

Is there an order of operations when launching all the jar files? Also, it's really confusing on the Java site as to which version to download - JRE, JDK, SE, etc. Which should I download? I use Jython in the IDE, which is why I though JDK would be correct.
