Hi Emmanuel,

Thanks for your feedback. Hope you can help me. because for the moment, I'm
not getting very far!

As I said, I have downloaded and installed the latest version of Sweet Home
3D (Version 3.7 Java Web Start). I have the latest Java version installed
(1.7.0_09). And it works OK.

I downloaded FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar and when I double-click on it My
Nokia Suite opens!

So I next tried to open the file with the same java file that Sweet Home 3D
uses (javaws.exe) but I get a window "Application Error. Unable to launch
the application" with two buttons [OK] & [Details]

When I click on "details":

Under "launch file" it says "PK".

Under "Exception", it says:

JNLParseException[ Could not parse launch file. Error at line 0.]

also tried to open it with javaw.exe - nothing happens!

Also tried to open it with javacpl.exe - and I get the Java Control Panel
opening!

Also tried to open it with java.exe - and I get what looks like a DOS window
open for about half a second, then nothing.

Also tried to open it with jabswitch.exe - and nothing happens!

There are other "exe" files in the same folder (C:\Program Files
(x86)\Java\jre7\bin) but none of them have the "java" logo.

I then tried, on the "run" command (Win 7Pro 64 bit): java -jar
FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar and got the DOS window open for about half a
second, then nothing.

I have read each entry on each of the three pages in the forum you gave me
the link to, but can't see any other suggestions referring to my problem.

Thanks for your help and I hope to hear from you soon,

Best regards,

Fr Damian Carlile

P.S. just for info: I checked which file types are associated with Nokia
Suite: .JAD, .JAR, .N-GAGE, .NTH, .SIS, .SISX, .WGZ. So I'm surprised that
nobody else has had this problem. I'm sure many people have Nokia Suite on
their computers? ? ?

You're the first user complaining about a bad file association with .JAR files.

You have to run the command:
java -jar /full/path/to/FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar
where /full/path/to/ should be replaced by the path to FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar file on your computer

Thanks for the reply, Emmanuel.

Got it - but not the first time! I thought it might help others if I explain what I had to do…

So as you suggested, I pasted in the run command “java -jar D:\Downloads\architecture_sweet home\FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar” (without the “” and got what looked like a DOS window for about half a second, then nothing.

I tried launching SH3D and then running the command prompt again. Still no better.

I then copied the file FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar onto the C drive and ran the command “java -jar C:\FurnitureLibraryEditor-1.9.jar” and it worked!

So either the file needs to be on the same drive as java OR my path was too long for the thing to work.

Thanks again for your help.

Best regards

DamCar.
