All i did was download the .jar file from the jemplode website and ran it. is there an installation process or another version i need to use?
Nope, that should be it.
Leopard (OS X 10.5) has a small mess regarding Java and all the possible versions that might be installed. My theory is that jemplode may be unhappy with a newer Java 64 bit runtime that may be running as default.
To check on this and change which Java version is used, run the Java Preferences program, located in /Applications/Utilities/Java.
In the section at the bottom with Java application versions, try rearranging the list so that J2SE 5.0 32-bit is on top. Then once you rearranged the list, double click the Jemplode.jar file again and see if you have any better luck.
If your Java preferences doesn't look like the screenshot above, try running Software Update to see if it offers any Java Updates.
