I'm trying to run Tomcat 5.5 with gij. It tries to load a log manager through the java.util.logging.manager property. Apparently the class loading code in java.util.logging.LogManager fails to load the correct class, even though it is on the classpath. The exact same invocation with Sun JDK works correctly.
