[rules-users] execution using "java -jar x.jar ..." fails

[Giovanni Motta]

When you launch with -jar, the classpath is ignored and the jar content is
used only.
See -jar documentation:
"When you use this option, the JAR file is the source of all user classes,
and other user class path settings are ignored."
