To all users of the Java version of StarLaunch. I have finished the last update you'll have to install manually. From now on the Java version of StarLaunch will update itself.
How to install this update:
If you have the installer of StarLaunch(downloadable here), just delete the current version (the 'StarLaunch.jar' in the same folder as the installer), and run the installer.
If you want, you can dispose of the installer after the update/installation.

Fixed some issues of the Java version:

• Not all official builds being listed because some files weren't updated lately.
• Fixed cleanup of deleted instances[Java why won't you delete recursively on your own?]

Is there any chance of adding support for java 8 to this? - Java version is not recognised!

All java parts are written in java 7, because I cannot successfully install java 8 on my computer.(and because there may be others who don't have java 8)
However I didn't think that would cause any issue.
If you are using windows you can manually download the .NET version of StarLaunch it here: http://infinitehavoc.co.uk/starlaunch/Starlaunch setup.exe
If you aren't using windows, I'm afraid I can't help it. You can then downgrade to java 7 without problems though.

Hmmm - grabbing the star-made launcher wasn't the problem And yes - I am using windows

Okay, will fix for next version. also, fixed the font issues the other day.

I have started working on this again, sorta lost motivation for abit waiting for the new launcher to come along :/

Ah then it was a completely different problem. Since the problem occurred while trying to launch SM via StarLaunch and not while trying to launch StarLaunch, the problem wasn't caused by what I thought it was.
The problem does not lie within the java code I wrote.
However, in the future it would be nice to not only report what occurred, but also when it occurred.
And this also applies to anyone else.

sorry - that was my bad - and I apologise for not reporting it properly, thanks for the understanding.

No problem, the misunderstanding cleared up after all:D

I have a problem when trying to run the StarLaunch.jar file. It would do nothing when clicked so I ran it from terminal and it told me that it is an Invalid or corrupt jarfile. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and Java 7. The All OS Installer runs fine and tells me that I can run the StarLaunch file. This is the update that the launcher would have been downloading as of now 7-26-14. Thanks for any help.

Can you open the jar "normally"?(like a zip file)

No I can not from the look of the error message I get it looks like the archive opener can't find the end of the central directory.

 

[Megacrafter127]

What jar are you talking about exactly?(the allOSinstaller, the updater, or the actual program itself[is hidden within the user's dir])

 

[Grimson]

It is the file that is generated when I run the AllOSInstaller. I can run the AllOSInstaller fine it is the StarLaunch.jar file that is giving me the problem.
