We really got issues when launching with 64bit Java. Due to other issues with a 64bit JRE, I'm running a 32bit JRE here.

Please find attached a launcher that launches JabRef-2.9b2.jar. Could you try if that works on your system?

Bug 1103 is duplicate of this bug report. The new test launcher for JabRef 2.9 is provided there.
