Can't open JAR files - tried everything

Hi guys.
So, I have this problem that I can' open .jar files. I'm getting this: "Java JAR-file could not start"
I have literally tried EVERYTHING.
This is what I have tried:
Uninstall, reinstall, restart Mac between every installation, have newest Java now (Java Standard Edition. Version 7 Update 67 (build 1.7.0_67.b01).
Tried this command: java -jar myfile.jar. This results in Unable to access .jarfile
Have googled and found a recent thread about this here on apple forum which lead to following this tutorial on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV3npU1NbHQ&feature=youtu.be&html5=1 which did not work either.
Console does not give me much when I try to open, but one time I got this:
04.10.14 00:01:48,571 java[554]: objc[554]: Class JavaLaunchHelper is implemented in both /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java and /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/lib/jli/./libjli.dylib. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
PLEASE help guys! I'm dying, this is so annoying, I really need to open the file.
Thanks in advance!

same happens with Yosemite (10.10)
double clicking on a jar file I get 'The java JAR file "forge-1.7.10-10.13.2.1231-universal.jar" could not be launched'
if I try javaws -viewer
I get:
objc[12654]: Class JavaLaunchHelper is implemented in both /Library/Internet Plug-ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java and /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/lib/jli/./libjli.dylib. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
if I remove the library /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/lib/jli/./libjli.dylib the message disappears but still is impossible to run jar files
if I remove /Library/Internet Plug-ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java nothing happens anymore.
embarassing situation...

  • I can`t open jar files though my java version is updated

    Hello everybody, I`m using Macbook Pro 13` with Lion on it.
    As it says in the title, I can`t open jar files though, my java version is updated.
    It says, I shuld check the console.
    Right now, my java version is, "1.7.0_15", and i`m trying to open a jar file created 3 days ago, by some developer.
    Although, if im trying to open jar file created 1 year ago, it doe`s open.
    Why is that? and, How can i fix it?
    Thanks.

    With Java 6 and prior, you had to enable logging first before you could view error messages in Console.  I am guessing that you need to check the Java Control Panel to see if logging is turned on.

    The thing it, I have desktop application that I'm building on Netbeans and when I compile and deploy it... it runs from Netbeans folder where I have all the files but copying the .jar on the desktop. It says "The Java JAR file "blablabla.jar" could not be launched check the Console for possible error messages"
    Any idea or solution will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    These are Java files.  http://www.java.com/en/ is where you can get the latest Java for your operating system. If your Java files need an older version of Java, there are instructions on the web to downgrade Mac Java, but it is difficult, and poses security issues.

  • JDeveloper 11.1.2.1.0 on OEL 5 can't open jar files and dies

    I have just installed JDeveloper on a OEL 5 VM, and when I try to open or create a basic application I get a series of errors claiming that that java could not open jar files, which ultimately ends in the app dying, claiming that it has too many open files. The failures below were generated using the wizard to create a brand new "Java Desktop Application (ADF)" application. I used all default values on installation, including the bundled Java SDK. I am trying to familiarize myself with JDeveloper in preparation for a new development project, and would like to use Oracle technology since Pillar is now a part of Oracle. Any help would be appreciated.

    I run JDeveloper on Ubuntu without a problem, please make sure you have enough permissions on the directory where JDeveloper was installed. Also have you make the installation with the same user? What's your JDK version?

  • My MacBook Can't open .Jar files.

    Hi,
    Whenever I try to open a .jar file, I get this error message:
    I really need to be able to open .jar files. I have been able to open them in the past; I really don't know what happened.
    Java is up to date.

    oh, I'm on Leopard Version 10.5.8 - I doubt the problem is the operating version though because I have been able to

    Please help me. - I don't know what went wrong with my computer...
    Thanks!

  • Can't open .jar file, says it cannot be launched, Help?

    I'm trying to download this mod for a game called minecraft. It involves opening a jar file to begin the installation, but everytime i click on the jar file it comes up with this message: The Java JAR file “YOGBOX Installer.jar” could not be launched. Check the Console for possible error messages.     I have checked the Console and there doesn't seem to be any recent messages. I have tried opening the file with a different application than the default Java launcher, but it doesn't open the installation window i need. Please help, i have tried all i could. Any ideas?

  • Can't open .bin file (trying to install windows media player)

    I'm trying to install windows media player on my brand new macbook pro. I downloaded the .bin file and have installed Stuffit Expander. When i try to open the .bin file, stuffit opens to the progress window and tells me that its preparing but nothing happens. it just freezes on me. i've openeother .bin files with no problem. How can I open this .bin file?
    macbook pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I hope you are aware that the Windows Media Player plug-in will not work with Safari because it's not a universal binary. Furthermore, WMP is no longer supported by Microsoft for the Mac. Instead you should download and install Flip4Mac (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.)
    Although the WMP plug-in for Safari will not work on an Intel Mac, the player will work fine through the Rosetta emulator. If you are insistent upon using WMP with Safari, then after you install WMP and the plug-in, select Safari's application icon, press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Check the option "Open using Rosetta." This will force Safari to run as a PPC app.
    If Stuffit Expander will not open the .bin archive then check to be sure you are using the current version of it. If you continue having problems then try using TheUnarchiver instead (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.) It's also possible you have a defective download.

    I know nothing about Eclipse, but I do know there are many applications and web sites that are not Java 7 compatible. You will probably have to check with the developer and find out if Eclipse is and if an update is available or in the works. You will most probably need to have information from the Java log to submit to the developer.

  • Can't open .jar file

    I'm running OS X 10.9.1 on a MacBook Air with the newest Java. For some reason, whenever I try to open a .jar file, it gives me a message saying "The Java JAR file... could not be launched. Check the console for possible error messages." How do I get it to run?

    You downloaded the wrong thing if you wanted jar.exe. The J2RE d/l is the runtime only package, and doesn't contain the developer tools.
    To download the current developer version of Java, go here:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html
    and click on the word DOWNLOAD in the column labeled SDK in this line:
    Windows (all languages, including English)
    After downloading, click on this page of installation instructions and read through #6:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/install-windows.html
    NOTE: If you are installing on other than a standard 32-bit Windows system, go to this page:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/install.html and choose the installation instructions for your system.
    Install the software according to the preceeding instructions

  • Can not open JAR file?

    Hello,
    My friend and I are working on a Calculus Project in which he made a Java applet that shows how a function's derivative is found... regardless! He made this file on a Linux based computer and saved it as a .jar file and sent to me via email. I downloaded the file and double clicked it, but the file didnt open, instead it displayed this message:
    "The Java JAR File "Calc_Deriv.jar" could not be launched.
    Please check the console for possible errors"
    I checked the console, and to be honest I had absolutely no clue what I was looking at. Here were the messages from the last 10 minutes.

  • I can't open .jar installation files

    i send a file with JAR extension to my handphone (N6230i), but my handphone can't recognize it as an installation file. Can you help me? thanks.

    As it says in the title, I can`t open jar files though, my java version is updated.
    It says, I shuld check the console.
    With Java 6 and prior, you had to enable logging first before you could view error messages in Console.  I am guessing that you need to check the Java Control Panel to see if logging is turned on.

  • Why can't my MacBook open .Jar files?

    Hi,
    Whenever I try to open a .jar file, I get this error message:
    I really need to be able to open .jar files. I have been able to open them in the past; I really don't know what happened.
    Java is up to date.
    Everything is up to date.
    Java settings is set to default.
    oh, I'm on Leopard Version 10.5.8 - I doubt the problem is the operating version though because I have been able to
    open .jar files in the past without a problem.
    Please help me. - I don't know what went wrong with my computer...
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem -
    I’m trying to install this “copious dogs” mod on my work computer (MacBook Pro).
    I can’t open the JAR file.  I get an error message saying “Copious dogs … cannot be launched. Check the Console for possible errors …”
    I’ve been on all kinds of boards that tell me to install a bunch of Java apps and whatnot.  None of that has worked.
    I’ve found other boards that say to open the .jar file with my archive utility.  I can do that and get to a “cpgz” file.  But then when I try to open that I get another .jar file – which I can’t open.
    Other boards say to go to the apple store and download “Unarchiver.”
    But when I go to the mac store and search for “unarchiver” I’m taken to a “Dashboard Widgets: iPhone News” download – and that’s about when I start to pull my hair out and give up.
    What am I doing wrong ?
