Java error
 

It's a bug in the code. You need to send it to bugs@Limewire.com

They're 'working' on it

it's actually not a bug in the code. it means somehow your collections.jar file disappeared (there should be one listed in that directory). uninstall & reinstall limewire and everything should work dandy.
