I've seen a possible solution where you make sure your environment variables are pointing to the right jdk/jre, but i've done that and it should work.... but it doesnt.

The only other thing I can think of is that i'm on a university proxy.

Be good to hear your responses, Ta

Answer 1

You have a thing called GNU CLASSPATH installed. It is not Java, it is a crippled and incompatible subset. Remove it and use a JDK or JRE.
