I don't seem to be getting this here, but it could be something
specific to certain jar files. Have you gone into the console and
looked at the errors generated? Console, on OS X, doesn't mean the
command line, it's a utility for viewing system logs and searching
through them. Open Applications/Utilities/Console.app, and maybe you
can get to the bottom of the error itself that is causing this dialog
to pop up. Is it a free java program you're trying to run? Maybe I can
take a look at it.

Hi listers,
I am having a problem running java apps in leopard. Even though I
downloaded the latest java updates, I get the following message when
I click on a .jar file.
the java jar file could not be launched. Check the council for errors.
What is going on here? Have any of you experienced this, and if so,
what can I do about it? Google doesn't seem to be helpful with
regard to this cryptic error message.
Thanks for your help,
John
The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to
get at or repair.
