1. Introduction
---------------

JBrowser is a free 100% Java-based Web browser. It is intended to be integrated into an application, but can act as a standalone application. JBrowser is a VERY minimalistic implementation providing only a back and home buttton, address bar and the actual HTML display.


2. Install
----------

In order run JBrowser you have to install Java Runtime Environment 1.3 or higher. You can download it here.

After installing the Java Runtime Environment, follow these two steps to install JBrowser:
1. Create a directory suitable for installation. (For example, "c:\jbrowser\", if you are running a Windows machine.)
2. Extract the zip file into the directory. If you don't have a zip extractor, please download Winzip here.

The installation is now finished.


3. Uninstall
------------

Locate the folder where JBrowser is installed and delete it.


4. Using JBrowser
-----------------

To start JBrowser (assuming that it is installed in "c:\jbrowser\"), either
1. double-click the "jbrowser.jar" file,
or
2. start a command prompt and write: "java -jar c:\jbrowser\jbrowser.jar".

5. Info for developers
----------------------

If you would like to launch JBrowser from your application, use the se.bysoft.sureshot.gui.browser.MiniBrowser class. For example:

public class Test
{
    public static void main(final String[] args)
    {
        final String[] browserArgs = {"http://www.altavista.com/", "nodebug", "dispose"};
        se.bysoft.sureshot.gui.browser.MiniBrowser.main(browserArgs);
    }
}
You may integrate JBrowser as a part of your application as long as you do not change the contents of the distribution file jbrowser.zip. Please let us know if you are using JBrowser in your application.
