Jim,

I'll wager you tried to run something that requires a 5.0 JRE using only 
a 1.4 JRE.   Did you perhaps over look the "What you need section" on 
the download page"? 

Perhaps it not so nice to point this out, but ask yourself how you would 
feel if I worded my response in a way that denigrated your ability to 
read?  It wouldn't be so nice would it?  Consider that feeling the next 
time you ask for help...
