Question

I get the following error even when my JAVA_HOME is set correctly.

C:\workspace-sts-2.8.0.RELEASE\JBClient\target>echo %JAVA_HOME%

C:\jdk1.6.0_31

I am not doing any logging I just have the following dependencies on my classpath (ALONGWITH THE JRE)

 - concurrent.jar 
 - hornetq-core-client-java5.jar
 - hornetq-jms-client-java5.jar 
 - jboss-aop-client.jar
 - jboss-aspect-jdk50-client.jar jboss-client.jar jboss-common-core.jar

Answer 1

Aren’t you cleaning / setting system properties somewhere earlier in your code? java.util.logging.LogManager.readConfiguration throws this error if it can’t find java.home system property.

Check this answer – though not an exact duplicate (classes are different) it seems to be the same kind of problem.
