Conzilla download

Conzilla is written in Java, and should therefore run on all platforms compatible with Java 1.2 or later. You must have Java installed before starting installation of Conzilla. Downloading and using Java is completely free. Note that Java is quite a large download, so dial-up users may want to obtain it some other way.

You can run Conzilla in three ways:

• By using Java WebStart
• By downloading it as you would do with any other program.
• By using it directly in your browser.
  

Java WebStart

Java WebStart is a utility which allows you to start Java applications directly from a website. The advantage of running Conzilla using WebStart is that you will always run an up-to-date version. Java WebStart is a growing standard and will probably be useful for other programs as well in the future, that you might want to use.

To run Conzilla using WebStart, proceed as follows:

1. If you need to install Java, download a copy of a Java (1.3 or later).
2. Download a copy of Java Web Start.
3. Click here to Launch Conzilla. Beta versions of Conzilla 1.1 are also available. They will overwrite any previous Conzilla installations, so take care.

• Conzilla 1.1 Beta, (new features. RDF is not included)
• Conzilla 1.1 Beta 2 (including better layer support, but RDF is still missing), there is also a version compiled on a mac just to be sure. If you already have Conzilla1.1B installed, you should add se.kth.cid.conzilla.layer.LayerControlExtra to the line conzilla.extra.list=.... in your conzilla.properties file.
  

1. It's a good idea to make a shortcut on your desktop (all you need to do is drag the link over with the mouse) that points to the WebStart link to run Conzilla.

Regular download

You can also download Conzilla as any other program. To download, proceed as follows:

1. Make sure you have Java 1.3 or higher installed on your computer. Click here to get it.
2. Download Conzilla.jar which contains all classes you need.
3. Run Conzilla using a command such as

   java -classpath Conzilla.jar se.kth.cid.conzilla.app.ConzillaApp

4. You should get a window saying:"Conzilla doesn't seem to be installed on your account...". Follow the installation procedures on the screen, and finally press the 'Start!' button to run Conzilla.

Conzilla as applet

1. Make sure you have the Java Plug-in installed.
2. Launch presentation Conzilla (Embedded in the web page with no edit capabilities, requires no install on your disk.)
3. Or launch the full Conzilla (Launches in a separate window, you can create your own maps. It will do a small installation on your computer.)
