java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

I am trying to intall java for ode into eclipse – I added all the jars and put all the dll’s in C:/Windows/system32. I was able to run some of the xith3d tests but as soon as I tried running the ode tests I started getting errors (see below).
Anyone know what is causing these errors? I am guessing that this is a PATH problem of sorts but I am running out of solutions. I tried just dumping the dlls into the Project root as well but it didn’t affect anything.

Odejava version 0.2.4

When I imported the file system I mounted everything under the the ode directory that includes the logging property file. Once that was in the path I had no problems.
