We recommend using Java Web Start, but if you plan to use StarGenetics with limited internet connectivity please feel ree to download a version for your operating system.

How to start Linux version?

StarGenetics.bin file is bash shell script. When you execute it, it will unpack and start StarGenetics. StarGenetics requires Java Runtime to be installed on your system.

Java Web Start software loads and runs the application based on instructions in the JNLP file. Try it now: Run Notepad. Running a Java Web Start Application From the Java Cache Viewer. If you are using at least Java Platform, Standard Edition 6 or later, you can run a Java Web Start application through the Java Cache Viewer.

If you are on a MIT Athena workstation, download StarGenetics and then in Terminal type:

add -f java_v1.6.0_31

Java Web Start 1.0.1, is available as a separate download. it is not delivered as part of the J2SE platform. Download Java Web Start 1.4.2. Java Web Start 1.4.2 is now available. It is intalled with the 1.4.2 beta release of the JRE/SDK. Download 1.4.2 JRE/SDK. Download Java Web Start 1.2. Java Web Start version 1.2 is shipped as part of the.
Example: For Java 8 Update 65 (8u65) the file to download is jre-8u65-macosx-x64.pkg. Notifications about disabled Java and restoring prompts The installer notifies you if Java content is disabled in web browsers, and provides instructions for enabling it.

bash ~/Downloads/StarGenetics.bin

How to start Windows version?

StarGenetics.exe can be executed. StarGenetics requires Java Runtime to be installed on your system.

How to start MacOS X version?

StarGenetics.zip should be decompressed. It will create a StarGenetics application that can be executed. It requires at least MacOSX 10.5. If you are on MacOS 10.8 or newer, please download Java Runtime from Oracle.

Introduction

Prior to Java SE 6 update 10 release, engineers had to deploy the JNLPDownloadServlet on the web servers in order to use Pack200 or download specific versions of their application JARs. While this solution works, it limits the flexibility of deploying versioned or Pack200 compressed JARs: Engineers might not have access to deploy JNLPDownloadServlet on web servers.

The Java SE 6 update 10 release introduces two new Java system properties to enable Pack200 and version download: jnlp.packEnabled and jnlp.versionEnabled.

Pack200

When the Java system property jnlp.packEnabled is set to 'true' in a jnlp file or an applet tag, the Java Plug-in or Java Web Start software will download the .pack.gz version of JARs. If the .pack.gz version is not available, the unzipped JAR will be searched for.

Note: the compressed version of foo.jar should be named foo.jar.pack.gz.

Usage in a JNLP File

Use the property tag to specify 'jnlp.packEnabled' to 'true' within the resources tags, i.e.:

In the above case, Java Web Start and the new Java Plug-in will first look for foo.jar.pack.gz. If the file is not found, they will fall back and look for the original, foo.jar.

Usage in Applet Tag

Pass the '-Djnlp.packEnabled' VM argument by using 'java_arguments', i.e.:

This feature is only available to New Java Plug-in since it requires passing the VM argument to Java VM. The New Java Plug-in will look for HelloWorld.jar.pack.gz, if this file is not available, it will fall back and look for HelloWorld.jar.

Version Download

Version download is the ability to request that specific versions of certain jar files be used by applets and Java Web Start applications. The jnlp.versionEnabled applies to Java Web Start applications and applets deployed using JNLP.

Java For Mac Os

Usage in a JNLP file

When the Java system property jnlp.versionEnabled is set to 'true' in the jnlp file, if the JAR version is specified, the server is checked for the versioned JAR file using the naming convention:

Note: version 1.0 of foo.jar should be named foo__V1.0.jar.

The original jar will be used if the versioned jar file is not found.
