Thanks for the advice guys.  Although, I'd really like to get the native 
going...

The error I'm seeing is a com.webobjects.foundation.NSForwardException 
[java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError] Could not initialize class 
er.attachment.thumbnail.ImageIOImageProcessor:java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 

I made a simple class that prints out the java class path from the command line 
and I see that /Library/Java/Extensions is in there.  But... getting WebObjects 
to use Java 1.6 was kind of a hack to begin with.  I had to create the file 
/etc/launchd.conf which contains these two lines:

setenv JAVA_VERSION 1.6
setenv JAVA_HOME /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home

Philippe Rabier pointed me to this solution a few months back -> 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/135688/setting-environment-variables-in-os-x

Do you think I also need to add a Java class path variable to this file?  If so 
does anyone know what the variable would be?

Thanks,

Johnny
