Mix of different runtime problems on a mac.

Hi,

I'm on a mac 10.3 and have no intentions of upgrading. When I try to start some demo's I get a lot of different errors, all as far as I can tell related to the JRE. I installed everything from the apple website:

Java webstart 2.3.0 (modified the May 2007)

Applet Launcher 1.4 (modified the May 2007)

Here's 2 of them: I give the info I get from the console:

1. An error occurred while launching/running the application.

Title: jME (v0.11) Test [curve.TestBezierCurve]

Vendor: jMonkeyEngine, LLC

Category: Invalid Argument error

The application has requested a version of the Java 2 platform (JRE) that is currently not locally installed. Java Web Start was unable to automatically download and install the requested version. The JRE version must be installed manually.
