Spark not starting, SecretKey not found?

I am having a problem starting spark. when I click on the Icon, the program does not start, I see the spark process in the task manager for a moment, but then it disappears. I found the error.log file, and it seems to be having a reflection problem.

part of stack trace:

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/crypto/SecretKey
at org.jivesoftware.LoginDialog$LoginPanel.(LoginDialog.java:383)
at org.jivesoftware.LoginDialog.invoke(LoginDialog.java:133)
at org.jivesoftware.Spark.startup(Spark.java:165)

the log file is attached.

I did add some security files (updated some keystores, and the policy files) for a project I am working on. But these modifications do not seem to be effecting my other java apps.

Any Ideas to get spark up and running again?

thank you for your help
