Using the OneWireViewer requires Java Web Start, which is
included in the Java Runtime Environment version 1.4.0 (or later), which can
be downloaded at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html.
To use another version of the JRE, see the Java Web Start section below.
Installing Java Web Start
If Java SDK version 1.3 is used (the minimum required to run OneWireViewer), the Java Web Start Runtime must be downloaded separately. The Web Start Runtime is available for Windows, Solaris™ SPARC, Solaris X86, or Linux™. For a windows installation that already has a Java SDK installed, it is only necessary to download the Web Start Update Package. Otherwise, the Full Package must be downloaded.
Installing OneWireViewer
If clicking on the OneWireViewer JNLP file fails to start the application, right-click on the url and save the file to your desktop. Then double-click on the file to launch Java Web Start. After launching the application, you can delete the .jnlp file from your desktop. You can then launch the application by first loading Java Web Start and then selecting OneWireViewer.
It is possible to run the OneWireViewer from the command-line (without Java Web Start) like a standard Java application, but the jar's must be downloaded manually. Get OneWireViewer.jar and OneWireAPI.jar and use the following command line:
java -cp "OneWireViewer.jar;OneWireAPI.jar" OneWireViewer
Troubleshooting
To help debug any problems with installing the OneWireViewer, click on File->Preferences in the Java Web Start application. Then select the advanced tab. Select the "Log Output" option and specify the filename of the log file in a location it is easily recovered. Any output to this log may be useful in troubleshooting some problems.
Additionally, the OneWireViewer has a built-in message log which will display any "normal" exceptions such as those generated by intermediate contact or lack of 1-Wire adapter features. This is available under the View->Message Log menu option.
