Hi!

A week ago I posted a problem. Now, after some vacation, I'm at it
again, and still Java Workshop won't start. I have got as far as the
splash screen and got a chance to register, but as the registration
process finished, the Java Console popped up with this message:


java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: sun.jws.util.Platform: method
getExampleDirectory()Ljava/lang/String; not found
	at sun.jws.base.Portfolios.copyProject(Portfolios.java:515)

	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java)



Next time I run jws, I get the splash screen and the text saying that
the 30-day trial period will end, and when, but it goes went away after
a short while and this is piped to stderr:

Unable to create initial window.
