Great (amazing) news

I just tested MathDrag'n on a Linux box with Mathematica installed, and it worked absolutely correctly first try.  The tester found it quite usable, and checked all sorts of things that I've done.  I must say, I was simply floored!  With all the trouble I'd gone to with the OSX, I was certain I'd have all sorts of problems with Linux, but noooooo---pure perfection.  How it did it, I'll never know, but it seems to me that my choice of Java as a platform is beginning to pay off in terms of WORE (Write Once, Run Everywhere).

I recently tried to use MathDrag'n (the binary version) on a linux machine with the blackdown java version 1.4.2-02, and got this error?

Here's the command I entered, and the result.

joal@littlesister:~/Source/Mathematics/MathDragn$ java -jar MathDragn.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: AlgebraManipulator/LocalClassLoader (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Yes. You need a more recent version of Java. I think it's been updated for most Linux's, so it shouldn't be too hard to fine, right?
