Aris Express isn't working on Mac

 

Hi, I downloaded Aris Express on my Mac, running Java 7 and OS X Lion, but when I launch the software, I got an error. Java cannot compile, and I can't use it. Here is the stacktrace:

I'd like to be able to use it.

It'd be great that the devs fix this.

Thanks.
