Anthony, The version of java that you are running does not understand the -jar option. What version are you running? Try java -v. Do you know the name of the class to run in the jar? A quick way to find out what class to run do the following: unzip -c ./swingman.jar manifest | grep Main-class (man unzip and man grep will help you understand what this is doing) You should get output like: Main-Class: mypackage.MyClass If so, you can do this: java -classpath ./swingman.jar mypackage.MyClass Hope this helps, -- Philip A.
