I'm running OSX, tried everything, including terminal, that you suggest in the readme file, but the jar launcher that OSX just fails after 4 seconds. No error message, nothing.
Any ideas?
I guess this is related to the version of OSX and/or Java that you are using.
As it states on my website, and in the readme files in the distribution, all of my programs require Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 or above to run. This is available for all versions of Windows and Linux but for Apple this is only available for 64 bit Intel based Macs.
The following is taken from my website:
Apple Mac OS X - Apple have provided a suitable version of Java for 64 bit Intel based Mac's only. This program has been tested on this version. It is hoped Apple will issue a suitable version of Java for their remaining computers in the future.
You can test the version of Java on your system by going to my website and clicking on the RoastLogger Introduction section where you will see:
"Test the version of Java on your system: Sun Java Test"
Or open a terminal and enter the following:
Java –version
You should get a response similar to:
java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode, sharing)

If the version is less than 1.6 then you need to update to a more recent version of Java. If you have installed version 1.6 or above but the reported version is still less than 1.6 you need to make the latest version your default version of Java. How this is done varies for different operating systems. Currently it is necessary to take this step with Mac OS X Leopard which still uses Java version 1.5 as the default. For Mac OSX Leopard set Java version 1.6 as the default version by running /Applications/Utilities/Java/Java\ Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/Java\ Preferences .
Hope this helps.
