Wordbiz is a Scrabble playing program available at http://www.isc.ro/linux/download.html. When I try to run the jar file with kaffe, I get:
$ kaffe -jar ./wordbiz.jar
Can't access JAR file ``wordbiz.jar'': java.io.IOException: No such zip file wordbiz.jar
This despite the fact wordbiz.jar is definitely right there:
$ ls wordbiz.jar wordbiz.jar
I know that wordbiz.jar is a valid JAR file from the following tests:
$ file wordbiz.jar
wordbiz.jar: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
$ gij-3.4.1 -jar wordbiz.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.awt.AWTError: Cannot load AWT toolkit:

So GNU Java was able to run it before dying unable to find AWT.
Any ideas on how I get wordbiz.jar to run with kaffe?
Hi Ryan,
I've got past the JAR problem by using the java.util.zip implementation from GNU Classpath, instead of Kaffe's. It seems that Kaffe's jar reading code has a few problems, unfortunately. It would be interesting to try to merge in the java.util.zip code from gcj, which also uses zlib, like Kaffe.
Unfortunately, even with that fix, I got stuck on a GNU Classpath AWT bug. Mark Wielaard is working on a fix for that one. I'll try to merge more of java.util.zip with GNU Classpath meanwhile.
cheers, dalibor topic
