We trust that you will enjoy this year's annual exhibition of works submitted by emerging young artists working in the Java medium. Submissions have been included for their variety as much as for their intrinsic value, and some priceless masterpieces have unfortunately had to be omitted because of our inability to package them safely for transport.
Once you have selected an item, point it out and it will be delivered to you via the JWS delivery service, otherwise you may take it home in a jar. Although the staff of this gallery make every effort to package the exhibits with care, we cannot be held responsible for their state on delivery.
Java Web Start. If you click on a picture, the program is downloaded and run using Java Web Start. JWS is a helper program which downloads and installs Java applications painlessly. You can get it in several ways:
On your own PC, install a recent version of the JDK java compiler, which automatically installs JWS too.
On your own PC, download and install JWS yourself by visiting The Java Web Start Page.
On a Linux workstation, type the command javaws-install, which will change the .mailcap and .mime.type files in your home directory so that netscape knows where to find Java Web Start.
On a Solaris workstation, type the command javaws-install, which will change the .mailcap, .mime.type and .dt/types/javaws_launcher.dt files in your home directory so that netscape knows where to find Java Web Start.
Jar Files. You can shift-click (or use right-mouse-menu) on the title under the picture and download the jar file, e.g. ab1234.jar. You can run the program in the jar file with the command java -jar ab1234.jar. On windows, you should be able to just double click on the executable jar file, or if not, associate the command javaw -jar with the extension .jar, and on Unix (Solaris or Linux) you may be able to make the jar file directly executable with chmod +x.
