tomEE startup fails with message: can not find main class (my local message: Hauptklasse konnte nicht gefunden werden)

the problem is that the first maven property is empty and will be passed as an emtpy String.

this behavoir only occurs on my mac (and i think this issue will be on linux to). everything works fine on my windows-box.
