One thing that could cause this on Mac OS X is having an ij.jar file in  
one of the Java extension folders, such as  
/Users/user-name/Library/Java/Extensions, /Library/Java/Extensions or  
/System/Library/Java/Extensions.

The "Unable to open release notes at  
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/notes.html" error can probably be worked  
around by using Patrick Pirrotte's IJProxy plugin at  
<http://imagejdocu.tudor.lu/Members/ppirrotte/ijproxy>. With the MBF  
bundle, it is available as the Plugins>Updates>Configure proxy command.
