Hi Peter,

What kind of errors?

--

If you are getting java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError, it is because java 
cannot find the native libraries. On mac these need to be accessible 
setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/jambi/lib. You can debug such problems.

With Qt Jambi 4.4 you will have a .jar file including the native 
libraries that you can simply include in your classpath and it will work.

If you are getting crashes it is most likely because you forgot to start 
the JVM with the option "-XstartOnFirstThread"

I also posted this thread some time ago, illustrating how to use the Mac 
OS X tool JarBundler to create .app files.
