D -- DISTRIBUTION SOURCE FOR THE JAVA-BASED LIVE UPDATE SOFTWARE DUE 102099 POC Point of Contact -- Philip C. Pulver, Contractor 509-943-0656 FAX E-MAIL: Click here to email the contact for this notice., philip.pulver@pnl.gov. The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is conducting a survey to identify potential licensees for the marketing, distribution and/or further development of the Java-based LiveUpdate software product developed for the Department of Energy. LiveUpdate is a simple set of Java classes that provides deployment control of Java applications. When executed as part of the main Java application, LiveUpdate will monitor a Web site for updating instructions, and if found, will perform actions such as downloading and installing the latest Jar files for the application. The software is easily configured, and comes fully compiled and self contained for use with any Java application. The only pre-requisite is that the Java Virtual Machine used for running the application must be at least 1.1, and the Swing classes must be present in the Classpath. (For Java 1.2 users, Swing is built-in and is not an issue) The system is designed so that any application (even pre-built applications) can easily add LiveUpdate to its features. Completely separate from any other Java application, LiveUpdate does not involve any additional coding by the original application. Developers can readily embed LiveUpdate with their existing applications Interested and qualified firms should respond in writing, emailed or postmarked or faxed no later than October 20, 1999.
