While most GatherPlace hosts use a GatherPlace application to host meetings, there may be occasions where the host will need to use the Java version of GatherPlace to host a meeting. The Java version of GatherPlace is available to anyone that has Internet access and a Java enabled web browser running Java 1.3 or greater.

To test your web browser for Java please use the GatherPlace Java test page at: http://www.gatherplace.net/test
The latest version of Java can be downloaded for free at the Java/Sun website at: http://java.com/
