I don't know where to go at this point
I'm sure you can fix this, but it is certainly subtle.
Did you try running '-verbose:class'?
Have you done your very utmost to cut your program down to
the minimal version that reproduces the problem? Is it now
as tiny as:
public class Test {
static public void main( String[] args )
throws Exception
{
Class.forName( "org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver" );
}
}
and with that program, and your %CLASSPATH%, can you run
java Test
Since you are on Windows, and it's easy to reproduce, try this:
1) Go to Microsoft's web site and download Process Monitor:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
2) Start process monitor, start capturing events, and run
your program.
3) In the Process Monitor display, look very closely through
the traces for 'java.exe' running your program. You should
be able to see the java interpreter looking through your
classpath, looking at each of the jar files, and you should
be able to see if it's encountering a filesystem security
problem, or a file-not-found problem, or something else that's
weird like that.
Keep on trying, you'll figure it out!
