Hello list,

for my current university project, I need to access VirtualBox instances using 
the vboxjxpcom.jar .

However, I can't even get the minimal sample running. The following code

        public static void main(String[] args) {
                System.setProperty("vbox.home", 
"/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS");

                VirtualBoxManager mgr = VirtualBoxManager.createInstance(null);

                IVirtualBox vbox = mgr.getVBox(); 
                System.out.println("VirtualBox version: " + vbox.getVersion()); 
                
                mgr.cleanup();
        }

crashes at "VirtualBoxManager.createInstance" with the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.mozilla.xpcom.Mozilla.initialize(Mozilla.java:632)
        at 
org.virtualbox_4_0.VirtualBoxManager.createInstance(VirtualBoxManager.java:104)
        at Main.main(Main.java:15)

I'm developing with Eclipse Helios and Java 1.6 on a Mac OS X 10.6 using the 
latest VirtualBox and jar (4.0.8).

Does anyone know how I can fix this? The jar is in the classpath and the 
vbox.home-Property is set.

Thanks in advance,
Jan
