Most recent version of Java on Mac = can't open Dr. Java

Hello,

I was told to download Dr. Java to use for my AP Computer Science A class, but there seems to be a very large problem. I downloaded it onto my MacBook Air through the Dr. Java website. Once I dragged it from Downloads to Applications, I attempted to open the file (through control right click to override the protection layer on the Mac) and it didn't open immediately. I then got a popup about 30 seconds after I attempted to open it saying the following:

"The Java JAR file "drjavabeta-20160913-225446.jar" could not be launched. Check the Console for possible error messages."

A classmate had the same problem, while all of the other computers could open Dr. Java easily. Both of our computers are updated with the latest version of Java, and none of the other class computers are. Dr. Java is not compatible with the latest version of Java, so therefore it cannot run on my computer! Please fix this because I need it for class.

Thanks.
