#62 2.5 final install fails under J2SE v 1.3 for Wiindows

[David J. Ward]

The VM version:

D:\Software Originals>java -version
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)

Installation command as specified in the installation instructions. Note: Even though the Hot Spot VM does not support setting the "java.compiler" property, I included it to be consistent with the installation instructions.

D:\Software Originals>java -Djava.compiler=none -jar jedit-2.5final.jar
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Setting of property "java.compiler" is ignored
count = 0, total = 38
Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid CEN header (bad signature)

at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(Unknown Source)

I also downloaded 2.6pre1-2 and encountered the same exception.

D:\Software Originals>java -Djava.compiler=none -jar jedit-2.6pre1-2.jar
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Setting of property "java.compiler" is ignored

Addendum:
jedit2.5pre6 installs just fine.

The mime-type of .jar files has been fixed, so this shouldn't be a problem any more.
