Black Screen on Startup (java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError)

Please post the full crashreport.

Incomplete.

I also have this issue. This is on a Fedora 18 x86_64 machine with the default desktop. I have it working in another x86_64 machine so I suspect the issue is with the GL drivers or similar but just a guess.

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_19"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (fedora-2.3.9.3.fc18-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)

After java -jar minecraft.jar

Hm I suspect this is a duplicate of MC-1371.

Manually updating LWJGL solved the issue for me.
