According to these JIRAs:

http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-17771
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-17425

the STRICT_QUOTE_ESCAPING parameter is required by newer 
version of TOmcat, not JDK.

If you are running Sakai 2.6 under the 1.6 JDK, you probably 
only need the "-Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true" 
parameter since Sakai 2.6 uses Tomcat 5.5.26 by default.

Once you go to Sakai 2.7, which uses Tomcat 5.5.28 by default, 
it looks as though you will need both parameters.
