Error Log showing the ClassNotFoundException

Hello,

We have an RCP application, developped with the Eclipse RCP 3.1.0 framework.

We deploy this application with Java Web Start on clients where JRE 1.5.0_10 is installed and it works fine.

We will migrate soon to the JRE 1.6.0_03 but with this version the application does not work with Java Web Start (we only tried to launch the same JNLP file after installing this new JRE). In fact, the application stops during the launch just after the certification dialog (you will find the log containing a ClassNotFoundException in attachament).

I made a test by launching the application in a standalone mode, I mean by using directly the java -jar command and surprinsingly it works, so I think there is a specific problem with JRE 1.6 , Java Web Start et RCP 3.1

For your information, we use the startup.jar to launch the application (I attached id to th issue).

My fear is that RCP 3.1.0 and JRE 1.6.0_03 are not compatible.

Could you have a look on that ?
Could you give some informations ?
Could you advice me ?
Is there a workarround to avoid this problem ?
