This is what happens when you point JAVA_HOME at the JRE instead of the SDK
(at least using 1.4.1). D'oh! The issue is that tools.jar is not in the
JRE's lib directory. It is in the SDK's lib directory.

As a previous poster mentioned, the unknown protocol message is really
Forehead.loadFileOrURL's clever way of saying "file not found" (the file, in
this case, being the tools.jar).
