Java UN Endorsement Files on Mac?

So I've got the Java-created UN Endorsement Analyzer and UN Nation Endorsement Checker, but I've got a Mac. How do I run these guys? It's Mac OS 10.2.8 so I've got all the Java programs that the system comes with - anyone know why these aren't working?

When I attempt to open them it says:
"JAR LAUNCHER
The jar file "EA.class" couldn't be launched. Check the Console for possible error messages"

What is the Console?

If you can link me to where I can get the files, I can check them out.

Possible Issue: 10.2.8. Now I'd say wait for Tiger (10.4), but Panther is way better than Jaguar (10.2). Just wait the short month or two until Tiger and buy that. :)

And Console.app is in /Applications/Utilities/Console.app (Yours might not have the extension at the end of the App's name.)

Java is a really unstable format, most likely the script was written specifically for browser use, try opening it with Safari or Firefox it may work.

Uh, Java != JavaScript

See, the creators of JavaScript were like, "Hey, this Java language is really awesome! Let's leverage that name association so we can confuse hordes of people into thinking they're related! Instant popularity!"

So they have nothing to do with each other. And unless I'm totally missing something, if the JAR Launcher is running, its not JavaScript, so a browser won't help.
