The readme tells all.  If you want to run it from a GUI, you have to set the working folder one level up.  Otherwise, drop to a commandline and CD to the parent directory (where you extracted it) and use this:

java -jar dist/ags.jar

If you have any other trouble with it, make sure you installed the RXTX bits correctly -- you might have to move the rxtxserial.dll to the ags folder or in to your java/bin folder, whichever seems more appropriate.  If you want to run this by double-clicking on the jar, create a shortcut and modify the working folder one level up from the dist folder.
