+:p.
+FM/2 handles JAVA jar files in a way that creates an executable program
+object. The first time you use it you must select the JAVA executable
+you wish to use. I recommend PATH\OPENJDK6\bin\javaw.exe. 
+Your selection is saved in the FM/2 ini file for future
+use. It can be changed by selecting the :hp1.Change JAVA executable:ehp1. 
+from a context menu or the Files pulldown submenu (Create Objects submenu)
+You will be prompted to select an icon file for the object. Some JAVA 
+programs will need additional command line switches (e.g. SmartSVN requires
+-Dsmartsvn.checkIncompatibleJava=false). You can add these by opening the
+object properties and editing the parameters box. You should restart your
+desktop before doing so since the object tends to lose its icon when opening
+in properties view if you don't
