Hi, when I 2click on any xxx.jar file I get an error message saying "The jar file 'xxx.jar' couldn't be launched. Check the Console for possible error message". Trying the cl here is what I get: "MEs-Computer:/Applications me$ java -jar mac.jar Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from mac.jar" My setup: 20' iMac Core 2 Duo, Tiger 10, J2SE 5.0 Thanks for any help. BTW have sent this to several other lists, to no avail. Even a respected MacWorld guru claims to ignore Java too much in order to give a solution. -- Michel Eytan eytan at umb.u-strasbg.fr I say what I mean and mean what I say
