JavaService Downloads

Software Downloads

JavaService is now an ObjectWeb open source project.

Given the positive move to ObjectWeb, all software downloads are now to be performed from the JavaService project site. This provides a centralised location for all activities relating to the JavaService project, covering downloads, documentation, source control and on-line support facilities.

The JavaService utility may be downloaded as a zip-format archive containing either the binary distribution or a source-based development distribution. Both formats contain documentation and sample files to show use of the utility.

The versions available prior to JavaService becoming an ObjectWeb project are described below. For downloads of the actual ZIP files, please go directly to the download page for the JavaService project under GForge.

By downloading this product software, you agree to abide by the terms of the licence that it is distributed under.
