I'm running the following on 10.6.3:
java -version
java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04-248-10M3025)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01-101, mixed mode)

and rxtx from arduino 18.

Note this is with the 32 bit jvm at the top of the java preferences.  This isn't the very latest java update from Apple but should be current to everything before that.  I'm running the svn trunk version of analyzer.jar and I don't see any missing file errors of any kind.  I've also compiled and run analyzer.jar under Netbeans 6.8 (and modified the timeout period) but none of that seems to change anything (still works fine).  Note that the code explicitly opens analyzer.jar to get the gui layout information so if you try to run analyzer.jar from a different directory (by, for example, giving an explicit path to the analyzer.jar file from some other working directory) you will get a "java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file" error.  The main window will still open but the capture window will not.  Perhaps for some reason, you are having trouble opening analyzer.jar?

Yup that did the trick! I used the full path of the analyzer.jar file in a terminal window to start the program. Which clearly didn't work. Everything is running smoothly now.

Thanks for the quick reply and keep up the good work!
