CCT: now hosted at garron.us; v0.9.3 out

Ok, I get the same results, and that would mean??

It should mean that if you double-click a JAR file in Windows Explorer then Java should launch the main class (specified in the JAR MANIFEST) and everything should work hunky-dory.

But its not working fine, therefore something else is going on here I presume?

Yes, if it works from the command prompt and not in Windows Explorer then I can only surmise that Windows Explorer is at fault.

when i try to open it, a window pops up and says COULDN'T START CCT!

It literally says "COULDN'T START CCT!"? That sounds rather odd to me.

This happens to me, a window pops up that has a bunch of numbers with couldn't start cct in there somewhere.

The window's title is "COULDN'T START CCT!"? I use windows vista, if that means anything

I use XP, but get the same window.

works well on my XP ^_^

In version 0.9.3 (the only version for which we have the source), line 1358 of net.gnehzr.cct.main.CALCubeTimer.main(...).new Runnable() {...}.run() in file /cct/src/net/gnehzr/cct/main/CALCubeTimer.java we can see...

Utils.showErrorDialog(null, errors, "Couldn't start CCT!");

This can happen for all sorts of reasons so you'll have to post the contents of the window for further diagnosis of your particular problem(s).

if you start cct in cmd prompt then you should get a stacktrace.

something like: java -jar CALCubeTimer.jar

This is my error window, thank you for the help!

True, but most of the stacktraces that go to stdout in CCT are usually less than useful, e.g. a NPE from a swing worker thread...

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException

	at net.gnehzr.cct.main.CALCubeTimer.initializeGUIComponents(Unknown Source)

The startup problems are collected and reported in the error message window which is of more use to us here since the application has actually started and we want to see what CCT itself thinks is the problem and why it stops itself from running any further.

It looks like you have opened the jar file as an archive (i.e. as a zip file) and are attempting to run the main class from within it. Java should be doing this for you!

EDIT: the correct way to start CCT on a Windows platform where Java is correctly installed would be to double-click CALCubeTimer.jar -- the windows file association for a Java JAR file should be to run "java -jar %1". Alternatively you can run from within a CMD prompt or create a little batch file in the same directory as CALCubeTimer.jar...

java -jar CALCubeTimer.jar

*In the English language*: I think he means, you need to unzip the CCT folder. Then you can run CCT.

Yes, thanks for that Edward -- I was assuming that was already done and that his JZip application had stolen the .jar file association

Thank you so much! I'm good with computers, but bad with .zip files....I finally got it working! Thanks again guys!
