[ale] ClassNotFoundException even though the class is there

[Jim Philips]

I'll paste it all below. This worked flawlessly until Java was updated by
apt-get on July 2.

# Run GCALDaemon
#

GCALDIR=`dirname "$0"`/..

java -Xmx256m -cp
$GCALDIR/lib/commons-codec.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/commons-lang.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/commons-logging.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/gcal-daemon.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/gdata-calendar.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/gdata-client.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/ical4j.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/logger.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/commons-collections.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/commons-io.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/shared-asn1.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/shared-ldap.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/rome.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/commons-httpclient.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/jdom.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/mail.jar:$GCALDIR/lib/activation.jar
org.gcaldaemon.standalone.Main $GCALDIR/conf/gcal-daemon.cfg

But it's looking like other applications are having Java trouble too.
OpenOffice complains there is no usable Java installation as well. I think
there was an interruption of some kind in the update that never got
resolved. I'm reinstalling now.
