Are you trying to run that from the command line, or by clicking on it in
> the GUI?


Tried both.   Double clicking results in about 2 seconds of the mouse
pointer turning into the ubuntu "busy" pointer, then nothing.
Running from command line "java DopplerPSK.jar" results in the one
line error.

> Have you marked the .jar file as executable?


looks ok:
 -rwxrwxr-x 1 dean dean 120002 Sep 19  2015 DopplerPSK.jar


> Is the JAVA runtime installed on that PC?  ( javac -version )


java version "1.8.0_201"

Ok, having written all that, it dawned upon me that AC2CZ's FoxTelem
runs perfectly and is also a .jar, so I inspected his "foxtelem" start
script to see how he starts FoxTelem.    His command line is "java
-jar FoxTelem.jar" - I wasn't using the "-jar" part.   DUH.

Just tried it with the following terminal command and it started!!
"java -jar DopplerPSK.jar"

Just another case of "OE" -> operator error.
