By "very beginning", do you mean "the very first statement of main()", or "the very first statement in a static initialization block in the class definining main()". Things happen before main() is executed; if one of those things chokes, you could well see what you're seeing.

Have you tried just writing to System.out?

Do any error messages appear in the Console log? What happens if you run your program from the Terminal?

What differences are there between the 10.2 systems the program runs on and the ones it doesn't? (There must be *something* different, especially as the difference is behavior is persistent.) Are they actually all 10.2, or are some 10.2.1?
