Thanks to all that replied. I completed reinstalled Java/JVM/JDK from sun and
seems to move me forward a little. I am now getting a completely different
error. I have installed the latest version of the mysql J connector as well.
To make sure I am not doing anything incorrect I have created a db with the
same name as in the documentation i.e., rollerdb and my
roller-custom.properties file has these entries
jdbc.driverClass=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.connectionURL=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/roller?autoReconnect=true&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf-8&mysqlEncoding=utf8
jdbc.username=scott
jdbc.password=tiger
