I just did exactly the steps you described on a Windows XP SP3 machine (with the current version of Oracle JRE) and it's working fine (JAR and EXE file). Does it always happen or is it a non-reproducible behavior?

On my second attempt I was able to exactly reproduce the bug by following the steps described above. Here are some more details about the environment used:

java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

I'm still not able to reproduce this bug. Do you use the English or the German edition of Windows XP? I'm using the German edition here...

I am also using the German version. I am adding a video which demonstrates the bug.

We finally recognized the reason for this problem: In case the absolute path of the JAR file contains any special character (e.g. a space character in the path like "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\revager.jar") the JAR file cannot be accessed to fetch the available languages. We've already fixed this issue. You will find the correction in a few minutes in the trunk branch.

By the way: It is for this reason the automatic restart of the application didn't work on your system either. ;)

Two nasty bugs in one single commit? That's really great news!

Will the fixes get included into the 1.4-branch?

The bug fix is already part of the 1.4 branch. It'll be definitely integrated into RevAger 1.4.1.
