The Java Art Gallery 2007
This year's Art Gallery has a cinematic theme, with a variety of genres. As always, the Java talents of this year's young producers are on display.
Click on a picture to have it delivered via Java Web Start, or click on the title underneath for an executable jar file.
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.
