Yes, i did mess up my system with all the fiddling and installs.
did a fresh install, and the quick start tutorial instructions worked
like a charm.

BTW, any reason why "sun-jdk6-6.0.26nbl" is over a 100MB?
It's similar in size to what's available with Ubuntu Server 13.10.
Compare those with "developer/java/jdk" @ 1.6.x being only 35.5MB under
OmniOS stable (currently).

Best,
