Hi, This may well be down to the security settings on your Mac. As we do not currently sign the standalone jar files i believe that the default settings on a Mac will prevent you from running the jar file with a double click because it is unsure of the origin of the file. Depending upon the security settings in place on your machine (whether your settings are administered by an IT department or whether you yourself control these), you may be able to override this behaviour. You should be able to change the settings in the Security & Privacy section in your Mac or by performing a control-click (right click) on the jar file and then selecting the Open option. The latter process should mean that you override the default security settings when double clicking the Jar file in future.
