Help running .jar files

Hey,

I'm currently running 10.5.8 on a plastic white MacBook, 2.2 GHz and 2GB of RAM.

I'm trying to run Solaris Skunk Werks, which is a .jar file downloadable from http://www.solarisskunkwerks.com, and, to put it plainly, it doesn't work.

To elaborate a bit more, I double-click it to run, it waits for a second, then an application called "ssw.Main" pops up in the dock. Then, it disappears.

I just updated Java with Software Update, but it still doesn't work?

Ideas? More information you need?
 
Hi -

Looks like SSW.jar needs Java SE 6, which is installed but probably not enabled by default. Open up /Utilities/Java Preferences and make sure Java SE 6 is enabled and top of the list (see screenshot).
