RE: Installing Java programs on clients -- resend

[Danny Oentung <DANNY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i strongly recommend java webstart since it's a very convinient and elegant
way to install java program on client exspecially if u prever thick client.
it could answer your question about icons, add menu item on start menu, even
automatic download, versioning,offline support,using specified j2re as u
specify. and it's easy and free (bundled with j2se1.4.1). it also support
linux/windows for mac maybe a little difficult in configuring.
for more u could go to :http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart

I have written some Java Programs and want to run them on other
clients. I
used Eclipse to code and test  them, and it will create a jar file for
me,
but it does not include IBM classes. What is the correct way to install
the
IBM classes from JTOPEN on the client machines? I have looked at
classes
AS400ToolboxInstaller and AS400ToolboxJarMaker, but not sure if that
is
going to help me.

Also are there installers I should be looking at, that will create
ICONS on
the desktop and add menu items on the start menu, change the classpath?
Can
I do this myself with Java? I would like the installer to work with
Linux,
Mac and Windows.

Thank You
John Ross
