I have seen such unavailability of java.lang.System before, but have no 
idea about the reasons.  In the JVM community there is the proverbial 
"CLASSPATH problem", which means that the whole concept is broken in many 
subtle ways.

You should make sure that JAVA_HOME points to JDK 1.6 from Oracle or Apple 
(yes that is evil, but it is the only version that really works).

SCALA_HOME should be 2.8.1.final, e.g. by re-using the scala component 
from Isabelle2011.

Then make sure that all previous jars are purged, as already pointed out 
by Alex.
