Classloader issues are always a pain to diagnose. I wrote up a small test program and it appears to work on this machine, but then I found this little tidbit in the oracle docs [1]. Class-Path: The value of this attribute specifies the relative URLs of the extensions or libraries that this application or extension needs. URLs are separated by one or more spaces. The application or extension class loader uses the value of this attribute to construct its internal search path. Which leads me to believe that you can't specify absolute paths in the Class-Path manifest entry. I only have openjdk7 to test against right now (which does allow absolute paths). Are you testing with oracles java?
