I finally figured it out.... It turns out it was because of the JDK switch I
did; I installed DSpace on Ubuntu 10.10 which has the default OpenJDK
installed.
phiri@PHRLIG001:/var/log/tomcat6$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)
I however switched it with Oracle's but the switching was performed after I
had already built the application using ant. In a nut shell, I suspect the
issue was as a result of using different JDKs during the installation
process and after.
Thanks to all those who attempted to help.
