Starting Jannotatix via Webstart
Windows
Note
Webstart is a handy mechanism that comes with Java. It will run programs
directly from websites, will create icons on your desktop for them and will update
the program whenever there is a new version. However, it is sometimes tricky to
setup, but usually not in Windows. Anyways, it's your choice, you can also download
the program as usual.
- If Java is installed on your computer: You can simply click run in Web Start and the program will be run.
- If Java is not installed and you are using Internet Explorer: You can do an autoinstall to automatically install both Java and Jannotatix.
- If Java is not installed and you are using Mozilla: I'd suggest to simply start Internet Explorer now, re-open this page and use the autoinstall for the setup, that's the simplest way as far as I know.
- If anything of the above does not work or you don't like to bother: Install Java from Sun's Website and then refer to the jarfile-download page to to do a traditional download.
Linux/Solaris
Linux users can choose to either install Sun's Java with Webstart included, then configure Webstart as a helper in Mozilla and then use the usual run in Web Start link. The quicker approach, however, will be to go to the jarfile-download page and run it manually
