I tried out the Java GUI following your weblog. The Java GUI works fast & looks great (same like Win GUI), when compared with the Web GUI.
Great Work! We look ahead for more EP weblogs from you.
Thanks,

Im glad that it helped you.

No, not all. You have an option whether to install on client or not. If you dont want to install then select ‘no’ on the popup (step h. Sun Java Runtime Environment 1.4.2 is the only requirement at the client desktop. The weblog describes both options (with/with outs standalone installation).
Hope this helps.
