If you intend on using Selenium on windows be aware that it doesn't work when instantiated from a network drive. This includes running it from a VirtualBox shared folder.

If you try you will get errors that look something like this:

17:53:02.795 WARN - POST /selenium-server/driver/ HTTP/1.1
java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: MISSING RESOURCE
        at java.net.URL.<init>(Unknown Source)

Simply copy the selenium-server.jar to a local drive and run Selenium from there.
