Description

If a JDK directory with an empty jre/lib directory is chosen by the old algorithm for detecting JDKs on the build system, the build fails because the classpath is set to the empty string instead of the default (stubs and the higher level JDK classpath).

The situation causing this problem can arise if a JDK with extension libs is uninstalled. Depending on the packaging system, this may leave the jre/lib/ext directory behind.
