I had a look, and indeed, warnings get spit out and scilab-cli is stuck. 
Running "scilab" gives the same warnings, but works.

I'm a bit at a loss :

- the warnings are strange because for example 
/usr/share/scilab/modules/ui_data/jar/org.scilab.modules.ui_data.jar is 
in the class path, but there is still a warning about ui_data ;

- since both scilab and scilab-cli show the warnings and one of them 
works, the warnings might be unrelated to the freeze.

I have to admit that finding the jar files is a big hack I don't 
understand : upstream should rework the module-loading code so it works 
with recent java versions...
