Announcing Java Multiuser Environment - jMUE
<URL:http://www.cdt.luth.se/~peppar/java_MUE.html>
jMUE is an application that allows for users all around the world to
communicate through a HTML page. This is done using multicasting and the
Multicast Backbone (MBone). Because there isn't any support for multicasting
in todays version of HotJava a special class and a shared library has to be
installed before it can be used. (It won't work under WinNT!! ;-)
What does it do?
In version 0.1 you can see all users running the applet currently. Each user
can set a personal message using the buttons in the top part of the applet or
type in a message of her own. When the user's applet was last active is also
shown before the name of the user. Below this there is a small drawing-area
where users can draw simultainasly. Everything drawn is shown on all the other
applets, even the rubber-functions while drawing lines and boxes. In this
first version lines and rectangles can be drawn and text can be typed in. The
applet keeps working and receiving messages from the net even if you leave the
HTML-page it was included into so you won't miss anything :-)
Feedback
I really need and want feedback about jMUE so please don't hesitate to mail
me. If you want to be notified of new versions of jMUE just send me a mail and
I'll add you to my list.
