Make sure you have the latest Java. It runs fine here, on a school computer.

Mind if I put this up on HC or where you getting to that? It's worth archiving there.

Sure, go ahead.

I do all my tests from the jar so I'm pretty sure it's not that in itself. It could be that you have the wrong version, though. Do "java -version" on the command line and see what it comes up with. Maja should (should!) run with version 1.5 or above, but I am compiling it using 1.6 and using a commandline to get the 1.5 compatibility. If you have Linux or another version of a platform that I haven't tested, it might also be something VM-specific.

So, what version of Java do you have and what OS are you using? How did you try to run the .jar? (It should work just by double-clicking it under Windows, but if you want to make sure that the association is set up correctly, do "java -jar MajaExpress081.jar" from the command line and see if you get the same error.)

I just noticed this. There should be no renaming involved. The .jar itself should be executable, it is not supposed to be opened with WinZip or similar program. You can do it, but it doesn't do you much good unless you're familiar with Java/jar files.

You unzip the .jar file inside of the .zip archive.  Then your problem should be fixed.

There are no .zip archives on the website.

Umm, ok, so where'd akabashi get his .zip file from?  :confused:

when i download it from WMCs link, its a zip. extracting the zip just leads too folders with weird names all over the place, so i assumed the .jar got saved as a .zip by my stupid copy of IE6.

Ah, ok. Thanks. Does it have more features than VP Mage and Quick VP?

Here, aken... this will work; you can unzip this one, because it actually is a .zip file.  And, you can instruct 7-zip / WinRAR / WinZip to test it, so you know if it's corrupted... if it tests ok, and still doesn't work, then either there's a problem with your Java, or Maja.

1. Uninstall all of you Java installations.
2. Re-start your computer.
3. Install latest version from Java's homepage.

4. Ta-da!
