I wish I got an email to alert me when new posts were added to this thread...

Anyway, I downloaded the Jar and had the following experience.

When I clicked on it, nothing happened at all. I brought up Task manager, and Java wasn't even executed... I don't get that much at all. The icon was Java, if I right-click and select "Open with" it wants to open it with Java SE Runtime, and if I select "Ok" to let that happen, it doesn't do anything. No .minion directory is created.

So, I went to a command line, and tried to execute the Jar from there manually. Nothing happened. Then I tried "java -jar Minion-jfx.jar" and finally at least I got something back, so I wasn't just crazy and somehow not able to execute a java program...

Here's what happened in the command line, including the first "null" attempt at executing the Jar directly.
