I've seen this before... caused by a bad jar file generated by my script;
try listing the contents of the first jar, they may not be what you expect...
mine were showing up with an 'extra' package, such that my class "foo.bar"
was in the jar file as "builddir.foo.bar". It seemed to be related to what
directory the jar cmd was exec'd from. If I issued it directly OK, but if it
was called from a script things went haywire.... -=Chris
