Similar to and SAK-16745. I'm also marking this issue as Won't Fix as we do not have the resources to fix this. The workaround of specifying the extra JAVA_OPTS is suitable.

Can a member of the project please comment on any plans for improvement during the 2.8 cycle.

Teh JAVA_OPTS in the demo version of Sakai have been modified to allow Samigo to run unhindered in 2.7, so I agree with the fix by date of 2.8

A number of tools are broken in a similar way to: http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-16745
2009-07-23 14:48:57,191 INFO main org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig - Deploying web application archive sakai-chat-tool.war
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: [Ljava.lang.String;
at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1359)
at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1205)
See: http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-17578
This happens due to compiling with Java 1.6. The short term work around is to add the following option in the tomcat startup script.
-Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true
Code needs to be updated to avoid this.
