JSup is currently developed in 2 parallel version:
* [#JSup v5|Version 5] based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history#Java_SE_8|Java 8].
* [#JSup v4|Version 4] based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history#Java_SE_7|Java 7].
== Demo version note ==
[JSup] can be unlimited used for test and development purposes.
The only limitation (without a licence) is a 10 minutes runtime maximum time.
The development environment, instead, has no limitations.
== JSup v5 ==
Version based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history#Java_SE_8|Java 8].
=== Requirements for v5 ===
The requirements for using JSup are:
* See [Requisiti minimi per JSup|Minimum requirements for JSup] for the HW and Operating System requirements.
* [wikipedia:Java Development Kit] from Oracle: it is free and can be downloaded at [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-javase8-2177648.html#jdk-8u77-oth-JPR|this page] (''Windows x86'' version) or from the [http://www.forlani.it/JSup/download/jdk-8u77-windows-i586.exe|JSup site] **(MD5: 1339CE80FFAD1DAA898638F4308DB083)** (please note that the Java runtime, JRE, is not enough: the development environment (JDK version 8u77) is needed, for end user runtime installation too).

== Starting JSup ==
To start JSup use Windows ''Start / All programs / JSup''.
To create a new JSup application, please, follow the step-by-step explanation in the [http://www.forlani.it/JSup/eng/PresentationsAndTutorials.html|InFusion import presentation].
== Demo application ==
The demo application (that can be downloaded in the [#Download and install] section) contains a typical JSup application for InFusion.
To use that demo, when you have downloaded it on your hard disk, you have to follow the instruction of [File .JSupApp#Edit of an archived application|Edit of an archived application].
=== Web interface ===
The sample application includes now a small web site to show how simple is to create a '''web interface''' for a JSup application for InFusion.
The website is located in the webpages/ subdir of the JSup application.
When JSup application is running you can connect to the JSup website with the URL [http://localhost:8080|http://localhost:8080]. Replace localhost with the JSup PC IP/address to connect from a remote device.
The web interface was tested with Firefox and Safari (iPhone), it does not works with Internet Explorer.
The example shows and let you control some of the on/off and dimmer lights of the JSup application.
The example includes also the authentication handling that with same user/password database used by the [JSup security] of the ''panel'' (desktop) graphic interface.
It's possible to '''[JSup web interface demo|try the web interface]''' without the download/install of any software.
