the script assumes to be in a NetBeans like structure in which you have 
a dist/ folder with two subfolders, bin/ (where your javac/java scripts 
are) and lib/ where (javac.jar is). I guess that a failure to locate 
lib/javac.jar could cause the problem you are talking about - I'd 
suggest verifying that javac.jar is really accessible using the 
../lib/javac.jar path (relative to the path in which the script you are 
calling is located).
