You need to update the JNLP file used by your server to the latest 
version (from www.jalview.org/webstart/jalview.jnlp), since the library 
dependencies in the JNLP file have changed.

Unfortunately, this is going to keep happening every time we create a 
new version, so you should look into creating a better system for 
uniprot to launch the latest Jalview. One of the best ways for doing 
this is to use the 'launchApp' service, which will rewrite the jalview 
JNLP with arguments for loading files into the desktop that are passed 
in as servlet parameters. I described it in a posting back in 2008 :
