The simplest way to install JGenerator, especially if you don't have much experience with Java is to download and execute native for your platform installer.

If you are experienced Java user or if there are no native installer for your platform or if you just don't want to download extra megabytes you have an option to download JGenerator packaged in ZIP or TGZ archive and install it as specified in the FAQ.

If you already have Java Virtual Machine installed on your computer then select installer without VM, if you don't have VM installed then select installer with VM.

Since January, 2002 we accept donations to the JGenerator project. Basically all the money will be spend on new hosting for JGenerator (with servlet support etc) and on new installer and automatic configurator for all major servlet engines. We want to make JGenerator more friendly for non-technical people.

You can donate any amount from $1 to your personal limit, your support is very important for JGenerator project! If you would like to donate click the button on the right.

Installers for Windows:

Installers for Mac:

Note for Mac OS X users: every Mac OS X comes already with VM, so if you are on Mac OS X you don't need to download installer with VM, if you are on classic Mac OS, then you need to check whether VM is already installed or not and download appropriate installer. All Mac installers come in MacBinary format, it means that before executing you need to uncompress it using either MacBinary utility or StuffIt Expander.

JGenerator sources:

Here you can download previous versions of JGenerator.

Here you can see history of all changes to jgen.jar.

JGenerator 1.3.1 is a little bit obsolete, it has not been updated for more than half a year because all new development and bugs fixing is happening in version 1.4.

I anticipate release of the JGenerator 1.4 in the middle or end of April, 2002. While you can download version 1.4 directly from CVS I realize that this is not an option for the majority of JGenerator users. So if you want to have latest JGenerator (in fact I strongly recommend you to do so!) I prepared a short instruction and here it is:

  • download and install JGenerator 1.3.1 (links are above)
  • download jgen.jar from here (last update July 23, 2002) and replace the old one in <jgenerator>/lib directory
  • download log4j.jar from here and put it into <jgenerator>/lib directory
  • download iv.properties from here and put it into <jgenerator>/ directory
  • download log4j.properties from here and put it into <jgenerator>/ directory
  • this step only if you are using jgenerator in online mode with some servlet engine.
    download log4j.servlet.properties from here then edit it and replace "/home/jzox/jgenerator/logs/generator.log" with your path to log file, then rename this file to log4j.properties and put it into your ...WEB-INF/classes/ directory.
  • download jgenerate.cmd from here and put it into <jgenerator>/bin directory. if you used to start offline jgenerator using jgenerate.exe then until the new release you will need to use jgenerate.cmd for this.

If you use xml commands I recommend you to download latest xml related jars from here: xalan.jar, xerces.jar, xml-apis.jar and place them into <jgenerator>/lib directory.

Do not forget to restart your servlet engine after the update.

Note: in some browsers (at least some versions of Netscape) you have to right-click and then save the file when you are clicking on any of the above links.
