I ran into a similar problem. Make sure your "java" that is in the JAVA_HOME and the PATH enviroment variables are pointing to a JDK instead of a JRE. If that doesn't solve the problem, I'd recommend doing the deploy with the command line within the SDK, edit the appcfg.sh with the full path to your JDK java exe.
