Question 1> I have installed jdec properly.But jdec does not start.
Answer 1> Possible problems:
- Check the log files for any exception
- Check the config.properties file
- There is a chance that values posted in config.properties file might be the cause of problem
- Check the values of log file path,output folder
Justification: jdec checks the validity of parameters present in config.properties
BUT this can only happen if jdec comes up. So in case jdec does not come up at all,
Please look in config.properties for any chnage that can be made manually and then
try to start jdec once again.

Answer 2> Possible problems:
- Check the log files for any exception
- For users of jdec prior to jdec 1.1,please double check the parameter values in
in config.properties file
Justification:In case there was an exception while decompiling the class file
then it is possible that jdec could not produce the output
If this is the case,Please report the bug in jdec home site or jdec sourceforge site
