Deploying PEERNET Reports Designer as a Java Desktop application is the another way to deploy the designer.  It is not the preferred method of deployment as client desktops must download and install the software directly onto their computers.   Deployment is further complicated by the fact that multiple installers may need to be created if the target client desktops are not running the same operating system.  For example, you may have clients with Windows and Mac operating systems and this would require two different installers (one for Windows, and one for Mac OS X).

 

In addition, to guarantee the application will function correctly, you should also distribute a 1.6 JRE, so you know which Java runtime environment the application is running in.
