Need to install Ganttproject on my Mac - OS X. But when I try to start it get the following error message - The jar file "eclipsito.jar" couldn't be launched. Has anyone any ideas on why and what I should do?

1 Starting Gantt Project

The JAR isn't runnable directly; you need to double-click GanttProject.app in the same directory.
This is for the latest version (2.0 pre 2). When you unzip it you'll find a few files apart from the JAR, one of which has an icon that looks like a yellow dart with grey wings. Double click this and it should work OK. Double clicking a JAR only works if the developers nominated a main class in the manifiest. For some reason, the developers of Gantt Project chose not to do this.
