Interesting! I figured it was a Java install problem. I first
became aware of this mid-week when I got a call from the IT tech at
Portland State University who was creating an image for the lab I'l
be using. I've got a summer class starting tomorrow using Robocode.
I hope they figured out what's wrong!!
I tried it at home and got the same message. I'm on XP and loaded
Java 6 and Robocode through the links at Robocode Home. I'll
uninstall any old versions of Java hanging around my system and try
again. I'll report in an hour or so.
Thanks!
