The Java Art Gallery 2006
This year's Art Gallery has an outdoor setting, so why not wander through
the arcade, visit the petting zoo, stop off at the observatory, then stop and
watch a little television at the TV studio. Once rested, you can continue on
to our exhibition centre. The children's activity area is open to children of
all ages. Throughout, you will find works by this year's talented young Java
artists.

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 click on a title under a picture, and run the
program with the jarfile application. Failing that, shift-click or use
right-mouse-menu on the title 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 some Unix platforms (Solaris or Linux) you may be able to
make the jar file directly executable with chmod +x.
