I thought the problem might be something like this. Switched to java 6 and it works great. tyvm.

Quote from pfig »

in os x you need to enable java se 6. go into Applications -> Utilities -> Java and run Java Preferences. then, in the list at the bottom of the window, drag java se 6 to the top of the list.

p.s. i'm running leopard, more precisely 10.5.2 with all software updates. ymmv.

that version is not available (as far as I can tell) to OSX v10.4, it looks like it is part of the Leopard v10.5 system software update.

I guess I'll have to break down and buy the new system software update. I wish there was another way.

Actually this update is only available for 64 - bit Intel- based Macintosh

I'm getting this on the 1.89 version:

java -jar JWowUpdater.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319)

I'm using the same Java version as before, which is

java version "1.5.0_14-p8"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_14-p8-root_02_mar_2008_22_14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_14-p8-root_02_mar_2008_22_14, mixed mode)

This ist FreeBSD, as you might remember.

Would you please look into it?

Thanks in advance,
SunTsu

Well, if this is the case, then this version of JWowUpdater is only usable by those macintosh pro users running OS X 10.5 or greater... That leaves the vast majority of users not able to update and have to roll back to version 1.88 to get it to work again.

I hope there is another way around this. I can foot the bill for Leopard, but not a Mac Pro... at least not yet... (-:

Yup, same problem. This version of java wont work on my MacBook Pro. I hope that there is a way to revert JWU or a lot of us will be SOL.

I use Little Snitch to block the update, alternatively if you still have a config file you could likely edit it so the autoupdate setting is false instead of true.

To everyone having problems with 1.89.

Im affraid that somehow my java installation got updated to 1.6 whithout me registrering that it happened.

So i happily compiled 1.89 for 1.6 instead of 1.5 which ive been doing for all the other versions.

Ill get a 1.5 version up asap, just downloading java 1.5 as we speak.

/Rolf

Ok, version 1.90 is up now, compiled for java 1.5

Sorry to everyone who had problems.

/Rolf

Thank you!!!

Good job on that one rolfba, discovered it a few days ago while someone was mentionning it in the IRC channel, it owns WowAceUpdater, my 2cent respects ;)

Sorry i relally like to try it outr but it doesnt work?
1.90 when started first time creates JWowUpdater.conf and then nothing anymore

First of all, make sure you unzip the JWowUpdater-1.90.zip from my googlecode page correctly. After unzipping there should be a folder called "lib" next to the JWowUpdater.jar, since your getting that error i assume you dont have the lib folder correctly unzipped.

And to address your second question. I wont be making a c++ version, since i believe Java is much nicer to program in. And after all this is JWU, the J kinda stands for Java :)
