sun.misc.InvalidJarIndexException

[Geoff Hartnell]

When starting an application on HP-UX 11, I get the following exception (which I don't get on Solaris):

$ Exception in thread "main" sun.misc.InvalidJarIndexException: Invalid index!

I got round this by removing the INDEX.LIST files from each of three jars (INDEX.LIST attached for each jar). I think these look ok.

Has anyone had similar problems when starting an application and if so how to get round it apart from hacking the jar file to remove INDEX.LIST ?

Thanks,

Geoff

Here's the first INDEX.LIST that caused the exception

SOLUTION: upgrade the RTE to sdk_13102os11.depot
