g2gui 0.3.0 is out. As far as I know the current version in portage (0.3.0pre1) does not work with blackdown-jdk-1.4.2. Don't know whether 0.3.0 does.

Reproducible: Always

This java based SWT application is indeed broken. 

root@mojo markw # g2gui
cat: /home/markw/.g2gui/g2gui.pref: No such file or directory
Starting MLdonkey G2gui (java)...
Invalid or corrupt jarfile lib/g2gui.jar
G2gui terminated.

It seems the that lib/g2gui.jar is indeed corrupted in some way. 

To fix this I used the following one liner which extracted the jar file and rebuilt it.

cd /usr/share/g2gui/lib; mkdir temp; cd temp; jar xf /usr/share/g2gui/lib/g2gui.jar; mv META-INF/MANIFEST.MF /usr/share/g2gui/lib; jar -cmf ../MANIFEST.MF ../g2gui.jar .; rm -r /usr/share/g2gui/lib/temp /usr/share/g2gui/lib/MANIFEST.MF

Once rebuilt it worked fine.

VERY WIERD.

There is a new version of this application out but it is unfortunately only available for windows at this stage :(

This does fix the problem, suggested that portage is either updated with a new jar, or package hard masked.
