 This appears to be due to at least 2 different bugs.

 Firstly there's this one #34221.

 java -version hangs in some circumstances if
 `__CFPREFERENCES_AVOID_DAEMON=1` is not set. This is fixed by adding

 {{{
     <string>env</string>
     <string>__CFPREFERENCES_AVOID_DAEMON=1</string>
 }}}

 to the LaunchDaemon plist.


 The next problem is (I think) that the
 `/opt/local/share/java/cassandra-1.2.2/conf/cassandra-env.sh` script
 requires `/usr/sbin/sysctl` but the `$PATH` it's running in under launchd
 doesn't have `/usr/sbin/`.

 Manually setting the `$PATH` in the plist again fixes this but it seems
 like there's probably a nicer way to do that...
