Get GetJava

One of the issues for Desktop Java developers is that the Java platform isn't everywhere, meaning that you cannot count on everyone having the latest/greatest release (although a vast majority do have some version of Java). The only solution to this is to make getting Java as easy and seamless as possible for your users.

So without further ado, please let me introduce ...

The GetJava Logo!

I signed up for this one at http://logos.sun.com/spreadtheword. You go through a simple registration process and then you receive the html blurbs to stick on your site, which include the link to the image and to the JRE download site.

But that's not all! There are three sizes available:

But wait, there's more: If you order now, you will also receive another variation that you can use in your applet tag so that the GetJava button shows up when the applet cannot; if your user can't see your applet because they don't have Java, wouldn't you like to give them a convenient way to get it?

I've got mine. Sign up now and get yours at http://logos.sun.com/spreadtheword.
