   Jar file source?

   Howdy OS/2 crew.   
      
   I formally have three OS/2 Email programs. I don't normally use it, but lately   
   had to start checking a non-normal Email site that I needed to use the   
   PolarBar Email program for testing purposes.  Suddenly for the first time I've   
   ever seen on opening the program for the initialization, a temporary little   
   alert window pops up which advises me that program file is not present in the   
   system called HotJavaBean.jar in a directory that is expected to be available   
   for the PolarBar use.  The alert window then says that PolarBar will revert to   
   the older ICE browser program when you click on the OK button,  I do that and   
   the whole PolarBar operation goes as desired.   
      
   From the current QTH and available stuff, I've done a Hobbs site search for   
   that file in the whole archive.  No such file.  As best I can tell this system   
   actually has Java 1.42 installed on the very latest OS/2 2.45 version with all   
   the latest fixpack XCR0005 with all the extra sub-correction IBM team work   
   which is not the XCR0006 latest version that more or less comes with the last   
   version of ECS which I have paid for the right to install and use.  However   
   for other reasons I've never moved to use of ECS at all yet.   
      
   Any thoughts on what might have caused this?  The 'ICE browser' that it says   
   is still in use seems to work just fine.
