Can't tell.  Have you filed a bug-report on it?

What version of Mac OS X is this occurring on?  If it's Leopard, then I
have observed that some output that used to appear in console.log is now
being sent to the bit-bucket (appears nowhere), so the admonition to "Check
the Console" is vacuous.

What JRE version is the jar-file compiled for?  What Java version is it
actually being run under?

Do you have any version of Java 6 installed (an Apple DP or a SoyLatte distro)?

Might there be multiple copies of Jar Launcher located on your system?

When the jar is running (i.e. step 2), run Activity Monitor.app and tell us
the following:
  the process ID of the Java app
  the process ID of Jar Launcher.app
  are any other processes with higher pid's also running?
