AgenPro can be installed as Java Web Start application or regular Java application. Java Web Start provides operating system integration, such as icons on the desktop and start menu integration. In addition, Java Web Start installation will provide better integration with your operating system and will keep AgenPro up-to-date automatically1.
Java Web Start is supported by any recent Web browser. Depending on operating system and system setup, you need to install a Java Runtime Environment from http://java.oracle.com (see also “Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Installation” on page 3).
To run (install) AgenPro using Java Web Start, simply click on the link https://agentpp.com/agen4/AgenProWebStart.jnlp.
To install AgenPro as classic Java application, first make sure you have installed a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6 or later (see “System Requirements” on page 2). Then follow the steps set forth in section “Installation as Classic Java Application” on page 4.
3.1.1 Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Installation
Note: On many operating systems a JRE is already installed or the Web browser comes with a JRE. In that case you do no need to install another JRE if the installed one is of version 7 or later.
1. Download the latest JRE or SDK2 from http://java.oracle.com.
2. Install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 7 or later on your system and add the bin directory of the JRE (or SDK) installation to your PATH environment variable (this is often already done by the installation process).
3. Log on to your system as the user who is supposed to use AgenPro and install AgenPro following “Installation with Java Web Start” or “Installation as Classic Java Application” on page 4.
3.1.2 Installation with Java Web Start
1. Log on to your system as the user who is supposed to use AgenPro.
2. Open the link https://agentpp.com/agen4/AgenProWebStart.jnlp in your Web browser.
3. Java Web Start will download AgenPro and start it.
4. Follow the instructions to setup AgenPro in section “Setup” on page 4.
3.1.3 Installation as Classic Java Application
Download the agenpro4.jar file in a folder of your choice. Start the AgenPro application by
double clicking it from your system’s file explorer, or
running:
java -jar agenpro4.jar
1. Although Java Web Start caches resources locally, it checks for new versions regularly when the application is used and updates the application automatically.
2. The Software Development Kit (SDK) is needed only if you want to generate code for Java or if you want to use the AgenPro Maven Plugin.
