Thread: OmegaT is available as a Java Web Start application

Message extracted from the OmegaT Group:

For the first time, OmegaT is available as a Java Web Start application
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Web_Start). Launching OmegaT from
http://omegat.sourceforge.net/webstart.html requires no installation, and
future updates of this version will happen automatically.

Two bugs have been corrected. One concerns segment detection in the Editor,
and the other StarDict dictionaries.

Belarusian, Dutch and Catalan localisations have been updated.

OmegaT can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/omegat/files/
_____________________

This means one can have nearly instant access to OmegaT from any computer. You don't need to download the software.

It's really cool, but where does it keep the TMs? Also online?
I mean could I "upload" my TM to store it and work from a internet cafe, for instance?

Java Webstart is only another way to distribute the software. Your computer keeps a copy of OmegaT on its disk and everything works just as usual.

There is no communication with the net whatsoever when you work. The TMs are not shared, your work is not shared.
