[SOLVED] JDownloader only runs with root privileges

I'm running Slackware13, yesterday I downloaded JDownloader.
When running it I get the following output:

Code:

kmbs@slack:~$ java -jar /home/kmbs/Downloads/JDownloader/JDownloader.jar

It simply stops there and nothing happens.
Running it as root works fine.
I have no idea why.
I'm thankful for any hints.

perhaps a file permission problem??

My god, that's embarrassing, it really was a permission problem, I must have extracted the tar.gz as root.
Thanks SethsdadtheLinuxer.

I'll mark this as solved, but I'd really rather see this thread deleted since it was such a dumb question.
