introduction
drive.web savvy is intended to run via Java Web Start (JWS). However, some users may be unable or unwilling to use it - this document describes other ways to run drive.web savvy. Note that Java Web Start is built into Java 1.4 and later.
running conventionally
To run drive.web savvy as a conventional application, first ensure that you have a Java Runtime Environment installed on your computer (version 1.3 or later). If you don't have Java installed, you can download it from Sun's Java web site. Next, download the two JAR files dw.jar and icons.jar (both JAR files must be placed in the same directory on your computer). Go to the drive.web savvy downloads page to get these files.
All the drive.web applications are available from the dw.jar and icons.jar files. Launch the application by either:
- double-clicking the dw.jar file; or
- typing java -jar dw.jar in a terminal or DOS window
and then select the application you want from the 'Toolbox' window.
