The most recent version of this file can be found at:

Installation 

Java Analysis Studio has been tested on the following UNIX platforms:

It should work on any platform with a JDK1.1 compliant java interpreter (JDK 1.1.2 or greater) and with a working version of swing-0.7.

When running Java Analysis Studio you must make sure that your PATH includes the java interpreter and java compiler (java and javac respectively) and that the CLASSPATH includes the jas.jar file that comes as part of this distribution as well as the swing.jar and motif.jar provided with swing version 0.7.

At SLAC we use the following script to invoke Java Analysis Studio (jas)

#!/bin/csh -f 
setenv JAVAROOT /afs/slac/package/java 
setenv SWINGROOT $JAVAROOT/common/contrib/swing-0.7 
setenv PATH $JAVAROOT/@sys/jdk1.1/bin:$PATH 
setenv CLASSPATH $JAVAROOT/common/contrib/jas/pr2/jas.jar:$SWINGROOT/swing.jar:$SWINGROOT/motif.jar:$SWINGROOT/jlf.jar 
exec java jas.swingstudio.JavaAnalysisStudio $* 

Known Unix Problems

The Solaris version of Java has a tendancy to crash as startup when displaying to a non-Solaris X display. The solution to this problem is simply to delete the font.properties file in the JDK lib directory.

If you are using a JDK version prior to 1.1.5 you may see many NullPointerExceptions in java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.retargetMouseEvent. This is a known problem in early JDK versions, and can be ignored.

See the general release notes at:

for more known problems.
