looking at the plexus.sh I found a source of problem...
<snip>
if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" ] ; then
if [ -e /etc/gentoo-release ] ; then
JAVA_HOME=`java-config --jre-home`
fi
fi
</snip>
as I only have a windows machine I can not check that part but
you defenitly need JAVA_HOME to be set to the JDK and not the JRE.
The JRE doesn't have the tools.jar in windows...
<snip>
if [ -z "$JAVACMD" ] ; then
if [ -n "$JAVA_HOME" ] ; then
if [ -x "$JAVA_HOME/jre/sh/java" ] ; then
# IBM's JDK on AIX uses strange locations for the executables
JAVACMD="$JAVA_HOME/jre/sh/java"
else
JAVACMD="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
fi
else
JAVACMD=java
fi
fi
</snip>
this may also be a problem depending on the java.sh used
-> maybe '$JAVA_HOME/jre/sh/java' is setting another classpath
as '$JAVA_HOME/jre/sh/java'
