Hi
I have been trying for some time to get jalview running on my desktop machine which is running Win7 (64-bit), and having no luck. I can run the applet that runs when you do a prediction on the server, but can’t install the stand-alone application. I have tried a number of different versions of Java – from 6.31 upwards to 7 update 9, but always get an exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.util.Hashtable.put(Unknown Source)
at java.util.Properties.setProperty(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.System.setProperty(Unknown Source)
at jalview.bin.Cache.loadProperties(Cache.java:278)
at jalview.bin.Jalview.main(Jalview.java:132)

at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
when I try to run the program. Do you have any more hints as to what I might be doing wrong. Presumably some aspect of my system is misconfigured in some way…
I really would like to get jalview running, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
