Launching the jar via a java -cp command in an shell scrip eg: RunFileConverter.sh file on linux works without a problem. But, when I try to execute the script via 'crontab -e' it gives me a ClassFormatError.
The jar was compiled on Win7 with the Java 6 jdk (latest) and the java version on the (redhat) linux server is also JRE 6 (1.6.0_29).
owner of the files is pipe, and the crontab is launched via same user.
Contents of the RunFileConverter.sh:
java -cp /home/pipe/Custom/cbs/:/home/pipe/Custom/cbs/FileConverter.jar fileconverter.Launcher
Filestructure (/home/pipe/Custom/cbs/): lib/somelib.jar FileConverter.jar FileConverter.properties RunFileConverter.sh fileconverter.log
Stripped down Launching class file:

// start ya conversions, aarrr mate
requestConverter.run();
exportConverter.run();
}
}
crontab-e

I have no idea what the error might be
