I think Gforce85 and you mixed so much things in the DLLs and the PATH of your Windows computer that it's too difficult to help you without being in front of it.
It works now with the windows 64 bit version!:

By the way my java runtime library is in the following path:

As explained previously, I also sold a few licenses to companies willing to distribute derived versions of ...

I think it's one of the best way to learn how the program works without entering in the details of its architecture, nothing more.

Yeah I agree that I should first make a plugin to learn how to use the code.

Even if many people contributed to translations, 3D models, documentation and plug-ins ...

Thanks for the quick answers!

So it seems that I first have to make a useful plugin before I can contribute to the project. But can you tell me what the exact prerequisites are to join the project as a developer?

By the way I found the README.txt file in the source directory and now I'm able to ...
