Probably not.  You can google for

  file type jar

to learn what a jar file is.  I'm not sure why your Datavision.jar file
is missing.  It is probably best to re-download and re-install
Datavision, and go from there.

STEP #0: Save any Datavision reports you have already made that you need
to keep, somewhere safe.

STEP #1: Download the current release of DataVision from SourceForge.
Assuming you are using Microsoft Windows, you should get the file


http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/datavision/datavision/1.2.0/datavision-1.2.0-setup.exe

STEP #2: This file datavision-1.2.0-setup.exe is a Windows installer for
Datavision, so after downloading it, run it, and click all the buttons
when asked by the installed (click No when asked about installing a
particular JRE, since you already have a JRE installed which is probably
newer than the one included).

STEP #3: You should now have a full copy of DataVision in the C:\Program
Files\Datavision\ directory on your machine.  In there is a subdirectory
called lib\ and in that subdirectory is a file called Datavision.jar .

STEP #4: Run Datavision, and make sure it works for you as is.

STEP #5: Make any changes or customizations necessary for your
particular needs.

STEP #6: Copy the saved Datavision reports you saved in Step #0 and try
using them.

If this does not work for you, please let us know exactly what you did,
and at which step things failed, and tell us what happened.
