#28 Installation fails

[Anonymous]

I am on Ubuntu 7.4 with java 2 (jre&jdk) installed.

After running 'java -jar install_filename.jar' installation seems to begin but with a bug.

On the language choice first window, the controls are not visible , neither the language list nor the OK button are visible, but I press them blindly and I go on...

When it is about time for the install to begin, after choosing the settings to be installed, the procedure halts , and the following message appears:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

...in the background, this message appears in the middle of these messages:

Exception during event dispatch:

Since I am not that familiar with java, I am waiting for your fix :) Thank you.
