I'm using:

java version "1.6.0_33"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_33-b03-424-11M3720)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.8-b03-424, mixed mode)

on MacOS X 10.7.4.

Yes it's strange, but nothing work without that dependency.

Hi Luca,
Which JDK are you running with ? This setting should'nt be necessary. You must use JDK 6 or higher.
Best Regards,
