Description

I am not able to start karaf build from master. See below for how to reproduce.

Build karaf from master using:
mvn clean install -Pfastinstall

and unpack using
tar -xzvf ~/checkout/karaf/assemblies/apache-karaf/target/apache-karaf-4.1.0-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz

cschneider@wscschneider:~/java/apache-karaf-4.1.0-SNAPSHOT$ bin/karaf
Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.karaf.main.Main

See here for a run with bash -x: http://apaste.info/esV

It seems like karaf is detecting the karaf directory wrongly.
If I cd to the bin dir and run karaf from there it works.
