This question is most appropriate for the users mailing list. This
list is about the development of Subversion itself.

Does the user your httpd is running as have access to the
/home/x/triggerContBuild/target/triggerContBuild/trigger/ directory?
Does he have JAVA_HOME set?

Try redirecting the stdout and stderr output from the 'java' command
into a file if you're still having problems, to see why it's not
running.
