You can use this software free of charge.
However if you find this tool useful
you can make me happy by sending a nice postcard (no virtual ones please!):

The more postcards I receive the more often I will bring out new releases :-)

Markus Gebhard, December 2001
Any JRE Java version 1.1 or greater should work.
You only have to do that once and will be able to run any Java application from then on.
(If you are not sure whether you already have the JRE or not, just follow the next steps. If you can not start JavE then just install the JRE as described above and try it again)
You can add a link to your desktop or the start menu (drag and drop the jar file with the right mouse button). There is also I nice icon available in the JavE folder: icon.ico
jave4.jar is an executable Java Archive.
With an up to date JRE you should be able to start the application from the command
line using this command:
java -jar jave4.jar
However if this does not work you have to put jave4.jar on your java class path
and start JavE by calling:
java de.jave.jave.Jave
For some versions of JavE there is a launcher available for download. Check the download site at http://www.jave.de. If there is none available for the current version, you will have to do the following:
Drop the file jave4.jar
onto JBindery
In the classname field type "de.jave.jave.Jave
" with
precisely that case.
Choose Save Settings... When the save dialog box appears, name the file JavEApp (or any other name you want) and save it. Make sure the Save as Application checkbox is checked. The resulting file is the packaged Java application.
You can double-click on the icon to launch it.
Note: I do not have access to a Mac, so I am not able to check if it all works. If you have more information, bug reports etc. feel free to post them to markus@jave.de.
For launching JavE have a look at the platform specific documentation for you JRE. This information should help you:
If you have further information for the installation on a particular operating system please post it to markus@jave.de.
There are no other files modified on your system (except for the ones you have edited with JavE).
For uninstallation of the Java Runtime Environment have a look at the documentation that came with it.
