Cause:
======
The difference of loading order for .jar files in different systems causes this issue.

Resolution:
===========
Prepending the specific classpath of the tibrvj.jar (&ltRV_HOME>/lib/tibrvj.jar) into CUSTOM_EXT_PREPEND_CP of bwengine.tra and BW application's .tra file can resolve this issue.

BW engine fails to start on Linux machine with JVM fatal error.
