Description

When starting the hbase on the specific shell, observed that the HBase webapp at port 60010 was throwing a NOT FOUND error. The HBase server log was showing the following error:
2012-03-30 19:29:32,396 WARN org.mortbay.log: failed ContextHandlerCollection@67e2c841: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: IS_SECURITY_ENABLED

The problem is apparently to do with the current classpath where we are using * to add multiple jars on the classpath. After following the same convention as bin/hadoop to add the individual jars, the errors are gone and the HBase webapp loads correctly.
