You've missed the point completely. The error message was "Could not find the main class." A java programmer knows this to be not an error with the virtual machine, but more of a classpath issue (the VM cannot find the class; it never actually *ran* anything). Recommending that the user upgrade their VM is bad advice since that clearly isn't the issue. It's not too much to ask those who wish to contribute by answering support questions that they actually understand the nuances of Java. >And btw, it was with linux as well, in the past. Only without the native BigInt libraries.. I experienced this very problem on Linux and found the problem disappeared after installing the updated freenet-ext. This is easier than upgrading the VM; but all of this is moot since he's on XP. >I can hardly see 'you will discover your own fault' as being more >supportive, in any case. I first told him to refer to Toad's response in the original other thread, since the answer was there. I also don't recommend (although Toad might) that users upgrade to 1.5 just yet since I've seen problems related to nio and file locking, not to mention it's brand new and probably full of a new batch of bugs. -- Jay Oliveri GnuPG ID: 0x5AA5DD54 Freenet Project Developer http://sf.net/users/joliveri _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
