I'm not sure why you are getting that problem when starting tomcat about 
JAVA_HOME.  I have never seen it before.

Anyway the problem is that a full windows pathnames can't be blindly 
converted to URIs because they contain a colon.  The problem arises in 
the method "testMediaDirectoryEmptiedByParentClass" in the file 
PersistTest.java at line 201 (in 
ogoglio-server/src/test/java/com/ogoglio/test).  At about line 213 we 
are constructing a URI from a string that is the media directory.  This 
is fine on linux or mac...

I don't have a windows box to test this on right now, but off the top of 
my head you might see if java's File class is smart enough to solve this 
problem.  You can replace the entire 
testMediaDirectoryEmptiedByParentClass function with this:

   public void testMediaDirectoryEmptiedByParentClass() {
        PropStorage ps = new PropStorage();
        if (ps.loadPropertySet(PropStorage.BASIC_PROPS) == false) {
            fail("couldn't load properties for test");
        }

        try {
            String key = ps.getKeyFromSet(PropStorage.BASIC_PROPS, 
"ogoglio.mediaDirectory");
            if (key == null) {
                fail("no test property ogoglio.mediaDirectory");
            }
            File f = new File(key);
            MediaService svc = new MediaService(f.toURI());
            if (svc == null) {
                fail("can't create a media service:" + key);
            }
            assertEquals(0, svc.getAllNames().length);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            fail("IOException talking to media service:" + e.getMessage());
//        } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
//            fail("URISytaxException talking to media service:" + 
e.getMessage());
        }
    }
