If you're having trouble with JES on Vista:
I have a stop-gap measure to suggest for Vista. The current JES.bat executes the JRE that we provide with JES, and it’s a JRE that has not been Vista-approved. I’ve modified it so that it uses whatever Java is on the system path. Here’s the process I suggest for Vista-using students:
- Install Java for Vista from http://www.java.sun.com
- Copy jes-vista.bat.zip into the same folder as JES.bat.
- Double-click JES-vista.bat, and approve whatever dialogs arise because Vista is security-obsessed.

Here is the release for Linux and other Unixes. Extract the zip file and run JES.sh to start JES. You'll need to have already installed Java 1.6. Strange errors will probably result with earlier Java versions! You may need to chmod JES.sh to be able to execute it.
