Hopefully, this will become more obvious once he gets it working. <rant> The whole virtual machine concept implies that you are not to be trusted as a developer. You are expected to trust the language vendor more than your own programming skills. While comfortable and cozy, this method incrementally takes away a great liberty, and emasculates the deep inner desire to singlehandedly take over the world which is beating in the heart of any true geek. Java has cross-platform merits, but clearly, it was designed by the marketing department, not by the geek squad. The fact that it is so popular is indicative of the current sad status of programming in general, which fell quickly from its more pure origins, where all programmers intuitively understood such principles. If you can't crash a server, and crash it big with buggy inline assembler, how are you ever going to learn grace under pressure, which is a necessary component of any responsible world domination plan? ;) </rant> -Jared p.s. SIMSCA. Sitting In My Seat Chuckling Aloud. Kind of like ROTFL, but a little more gentlemanly.

O.K. My friend has informed me that moparscape is pretty lame so I wanna get this working and try some different servers. I've got 12 different servers all I need is a client. When I try to run I get this: tommy@dad:~/Desktop/Metis$ java -Djava.library.path=lib -jar metis.jar Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: metis/MetisMain (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:539) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:123) at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(URLClassLoader.java:251) at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$100(URLClassLoader.java:55) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:194) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:187) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:289) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:274) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:235) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:302) Here's the file: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=166699&package_id=194… P.S.

Try another version > of Java. If you are using 1.4, try 1.5 or 1.6. If you go to this link: http://www.moparscape.org/smf/index.php/topic,6915.msg72503.html#msg72503 you will see the problem is addressed by Jason's solution to upgrade to the latest Java, as well as by the following advice: "Extract the WHOLE archive into its own folder first." I note you are running it from a folder sitting on the desktop. Consider storing your programs in a directory like ~/tinkering/ or ~/java/ or ~/apps/ or something like that. As you tinker with more programs, they will all be in a single orderly place, not piling up on the desktop. -Jared
