java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

843810Aug 3 2009 — edited Aug 3 2009
Alright guys, I got a tough one here. I'm trying to start up my server (JBoss 4.0) with a project attached to it. But, it won't - it gets to the deployment part, and blows up. Here's the stack trace from my log file:

And here's the line of code that's blowing it up: 
private static Logger log = AppLogger.getLogger(MVNForumContextListener.class);
That's the first line of code in the class. Not sure what's going on here, but after as much research as I've done on this, it seems as though it may have something to do with class paths, server versions, or duplicate jar files. I use Eclipse v3.5, JBoss app server v4.0, and JRE 1.5.0_07-b03.
