Hi Ahmet - thanks for your comprehensive test ! I was wondering if Mountain Lion would be causing problems, since I'm still on Snow Leopard (for various reasons :) ).

Eww - no idea what's going on here. We are due to upgrade the version of InstallAnywhere used to package Jalview for 2.8, so I'll see if that fixes it. One alternative is to try the 'Unix' distribution - which is a simple tarball with a shell script for launching.. but read on.. > > And as a last result, I have downloaded the source code (jalview_2_7.tar.gz). > Followed the instructions and make an ant build, and ant makeApplet build. > Afterwards, I have tried running the produced applet with and without the > instructed parameters.

Full terminal outputs can be found here: > http://pastebin.com/1fWAm3k3 OK - this I can help you with :) 1. Build the desktop jars with: ant makedist 2. Run Jalview with: java -Djava.ext.dirs=dist jalview.bin.Jalview That *should* work - since the compilation seemed to run fine judging from your pastebin.. If you'd like to register over at http://issues.jalview.org then you can set a 'watch' on those bugs - when I fix them, you'll be emailed so you can try out the updated installers/webstart packages.
