run jnlp files
Links to these files are listed under "executables" in the navigation area on the left of this page. These
files are executed with Java WebStart. Some pro's and contra's:
- you need less hoops to jump through to get them running
- it makes sure you always get the latest version
- it protects your system but at a price: it blocks some if not the most important functionality
run jar files
Links to these files are listed under "executables" in the navigation area on the left of this page. Once
downloaded you can start them from a command line:
- java -jar "c://.../BwDiagrams-rel.x.x.jar" en&
- java -jar "c://.../bwpGrid-rel.x.x.jar" en&
The
c://... part depends on the location where you saved the files. The
x.x part
depends on downloaded version. Please note the direction of the slashes, even on windows: "/". You can
drop
en or replace it with a language of your choice. The supported languages are listed in the
navigation area of this page, language support might be partial.
Though jar files are a special breed of zip files, it might not be wise to unzip. Occasionally a system does that
automatically.
memory requirements
Large diagrams (or many changes) require a lot of memory as shown by the status bar. In case you need more than is
assigned by default, you could try the command line:
- java -Xmx1G -jar "c://.../BwDiagrams.jar"
which allows maximum memory usage of 1 Giga Byte.
system requirements
You'll need a Java runtime environment:
JRE
1.5+
On linux (ubuntu) the default OpenJDK 1.6.0 prompts with
- UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so
You could try
- sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
as explained on
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
if all else fails
A web start version that might not deny access but is less intuitive:
bwViewer.jnlp
If the command "java -version" prompts with 1.4 and you hesitate to upgrade, you might try older versions
bwpGrid.jar or
bwViewer.jar they have a
personal-use-only license.
