Re: ELAN 2.5.1 / ELAN 3.0 on MacBook Pro
On MacBook Pro the use of Java 1.5 (a.k.a. 5.0) is required (because QuickTime for Java requires J1.5 on that platform).
If you launch the Java Preferences app in the J2SE 5.0 folder there is a setting called 'Java Application Runtime Settings'. Make sure J2SE 5.0 is the first item in the list (drag it to the top). Then it should work (although on some machines it doesn't, for unknown reasons).
Also read the latest News post about this matter. The download page recently has been updated. There are now two installer versions and 2 Web Start versions for Mac OS. Which one to use has been made more explicit.

Re: ELAN 2.5.1 / ELAN 3.0 on MacBook Pro
Thanks for the advice, Han.
I had already set the Java preferences to use J2SE 5.0 first. I just checked to make sure that my preferences are still in that order. They are. The order is -
J2SE 5.0
J2SE 1.4.2
The Note says, "Runtime settings are used when a Java application or applet is launched using the Network Launching Protocol (JNLP)"
Just to make sure I had also changed Java Applet Runtime Settings to use version J2SE 5.0.
The version of ELAN 3.0 I downloaded and installed is "ELAN_3-0_mac_10_4_install.zip".
Unzipping the file produced "ELAN_3-0_mac_install.app" - a PowerPC application.
Installing that produced "ELAN 3.0.app" - a PowerPC application (146,665 bytes).
As a temporary fix I will try installing ELAN 3.0 under Windows using Parallels.
While that is downloading I also installed the Mac webstart version of ELAN 3.0. It has similar problems to the regular version of ELAN 3.0 I had already installed. I opened Java Console and noted the following which may be of interest.

I saved the whole Java Console report in case it might assist in debugging.
