title: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class java.net.ProxySelector
body: <p>I'm running into a problem with a java app constantly throwing:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class java.net.ProxySelector.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am running Suse Linux 10.3 and running java 1.6.0. My CLASSPATH is set to </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk/lib.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>No other users seem to be having this error so I'm assuming its my setup. For those wondering the app is yamj (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/moviejukebox/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://code.google.com/p/moviejukebox/</a>) </p>
  
  <p>Any ideas as to what maybe missing or what I maybe doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Edit the full trace of the error is as follows:</p>
