[Bug 1361831] [NEW] ActiveMQ fails to start on Ubuntu 14.04

[rfkrocktk]

Public bug reported:

Simply install ActiveMQ in Ubuntu 14.04:

    sudo apt-get install activemq

After install, enable the default instance

    sudo ln -s /etc/activemq/instances-available/main /etc/activemq
/instances-enabled/main

Restart ActiveMQ

    sudo service activemq restart

Check it to see if it's actually running:

    ps aux | grep [j]ava

Nothing.

What about searching for something named 'active'?

    ps aux | grep [a]ctive

Nothing.

Let's run it in console mode

    sudo activemq console

This fails with the following output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8152517/

It fails to create a directory at /usr/bin/activemq:367 due to
"$ACTIVEMQ_DATA_DIR" not being defined yet.

The real failure seems to be a classpath issue, as seen in the pastebin
link.
