Hm. Are there any log files?
To check java version, you can open the command prompt (no idea how it works on Win8, but should be the same -- click on Start, and in the search field type "cmd" and press enter), type java -version and press enter - it should print out the version number, along some other info.
Try launching the editor using the .bat file, see if anything new happens (log files, mostly)
If log files don't appear, open the .bat file with any text editor, and change the javaw to java, save, and try running it again. Hopefully there'll be something of use in the console.
And no, superluminal doesn't need GMM to run - you still need the manager to patch mods into the game, though.
