Install yields "Failed to inject zimlets" error message; ZDesktop doesn't run

You can try "jar xvf <jarfilename>".

THat works, but it still won't run. I can do the same for all the jar files in the webapps/zimbra or webapps/service folder and I get the same error messages.

Is there anything else I should do so that zimbra invokes the correct java version or is the mac jre the problem?

OK I don't know what's going on. All I can speculate is that somehow on your box java runtime doesn't seem to like the jar format. But this is pretty weird because many developers at zimbra, myself included, use intel mac as primary development platform, so arguably we see less issues on Mac. All I can suggest at this point is to try installing zdesktop on a different box if you happen to have one. If it works on the other box, maybe you can think of a difference between the two environments. Thanks!

It seems to work fine on a new Mac Mini that we just got installed. The only things that I have added to my system that might pose a problem are the XCode SDK and MacPorts. I might just have to reinstall my OS X, but that seems like a long route to take.
