Introduction

This section describes how to install and start XBaya

Requirements

Installation

Download the newest version of XBaya from the download page, and unarchives it.

Set the JAVA_HOME environment to point to the installation of Java (version 5.0 or higher) and make sure that you have Apache Ant installed in your path. (It is only test with Apache Ant 1.6.2, but earlier version should work too.) Than, type the following to compile.

Starting XBaya

There are two ways to use XBaya, as a standalone application, or as a Java Web Start application.

Standalone application

Set the JAVA_HOME environment to point to the installation of Java (version 5.0 or higher).

Then, on Unix,

  $ ./run.sh application

On Windows

  $ run application

Java Web Start application

Open the build/webstart/xbaya.html file with your browser.

To embed XBaya in your web page, please see build/webstart/{xbaya.html, xbaya.jnlp}. xbaya.jnlp shows what jar files are needed and how to pass arguments to XBaya. All necessary jar files are under the build/webstart/lib directory. They are signed by testing certificate (WebStart requires to use signed jar files). You may want to sign them with real certificate for real deployments.
