I am getting the following exception:
The LogManager was not properly installed (you must set the "java.util.logging.manager" system property to "org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager")
(full trace at the end of the post)
I' ve read a similar JIRA ticket (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1) and although I 've set my JAVA_OPTS and CLASSPATH as suggested there:

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dorg.jboss.logging.Logger.pluginClass=org.jboss.logging.logmanager.LoggerPluginImpl"
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:$JBOSS_HOME/modules/org/jboss/logmanager/main/jboss-logmanager-1.2.2.GA.jar"

(the above is from my standalone.conf), I keep getting the exception.

TRACE
Exception: The LogManager was not properly installed (you must set the "java.util.logging.manager" system property to "org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager")
