Why is LOSITAN not running the simulations?

Question

[carolw1]

I am using LOSITAN to identify outliers. I can open the genepop file, load the populations and obtain the fst as well as see the loci on the graph. However once I click run simulations with standard number of 50x1000 sims, the program simply freezes, it doesn't crash, I can still click on the Help tab, but nothing else works. I've left it for many hours and still nothing works.

I have pasted the error messages from the java console below and since the lositan website says to ask here, I'm hoping someone can answer this question.

Thanks

Carol

This is really a strange error and I have never seen this, for now I would recommend trying to run this on another PC and see if the problem repeats...
