              a. Mac OS X issue:(included in a private message from Andreas Tuscher)
                    "Hello, 
                     I had quite issues to run JWF for the first time on Mac OS X. 
                     It took me a while to understand that JRE was not enough for running it 
                     but I figured out finally that I needed to instal JDK 
                     and select the JDK path rather the JRE path for JWF to run.   "

              b. Windows issue: windows error message "could not locate Javaw..."  
                     This issue happens either because one does not have java installed or there
                     is a problem with the last installation of an update.... the solution is
                     to remove any versions of Java on one's computer and to download the latest version.
