Kicad freeroute reports 'unable to launch application'

Hi,
I’ve use Freeroute.jnlp before. Now it won’t open and reports ‘unable to launch application’. Does anyone know why?
C.

I’ve just tried running this fork. It seems to work for me. Using OpenJdk 1.7 in linux.

Hi,
If this is for me,. I’m not too familiar with Linux, but i’ll look into it.
Thanks C
