About the getDefaultJVMPath(), could you send me your system 
information? On windows, JPype uses the contents of the registry to find 
the JVM. Of course, the usefulness of this mechanism is limited byt he 
sample of configurations i can test (I have only one machine). So any 
info you can provide me on yours can only help.

About the classpath. JPype 0.4 currently cannot import classes that are 
in the "default" package. The fix is easy, simply put your "test" class 
in a package. For exmaple, if you put the class in the package "test", 
the code to load it would be :

test = jpype.JPackage("test").test
