Dear experts,

I'm having problems installing the Java JDK in a busybox (which is in an LXC container on an Ubuntu Server 14.04).

In a web application I'm developing, users will be able to upload java code and I will need to compile and run that. For security reasons, I'd like to that inside an LXC container, and for footprint reasons I'd like that to be a busybox. So, I created a busybox container successfully with:

    lxc-create -n my-box -t busybox

It's up and running fine. Then, I downloaded jdk-8u31-linux-i586.rpm from [here](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html) and ran `rpm -i jdk-8u31-linux-i586.rpm`, which returned no output but created `/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_31` which all looks good.

However, when I go to `/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_31/bin` and run `./javac -version`, I get:

    /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_31/bin # ./javac -version
    Error occurred during initialization of VM
    java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

I figured this may be because of the classpath or java_home not being the right setting, so, I created a `/etc/profile`:

    JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_31
    CLASSPATH=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_31/lib
    PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
    export JAVA_HOME
    export CLASSPATH
    export PATH

This works fine, when I echo the variables they have the values I set to them. However, the problem with `javac` persists. `java` has the exact same output.

What did I miss here?

I have also tried the x64 version, with the same result.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

Camil Staps
