Portable Java together with jPort

Submitted by jman69 on September 11, 2013 - 9:37pm

Hi,

I'm using portable Java (jPortable) on to launch portable Java applications from the jPort http://jwork.org/jport/ project. I want to use my USB with jPort on Mac/Linux. How can I force my Java to figure it out the platform? It seems jPort applications are fully multiplatform (since Java), while jPortable Java installation is platform dependent (i.e. runs on Windows). jPort desktop assumes that Java VM is not portable and is already pre-installed on the host computer.

Creating custom Collection of Apps for Easy Download

Submitted by BurkeyAcademy on September 11, 2013 - 1:07pm

As a professor, I personally use many PortableApps, and require my students to use them as well. Is there a way to set up a "Custom Collection" of apps with a link for ease of downloading? As of now, I have students come by so I can copy them on to their pen drives, one at a time.

Can i download a portable app to my computer harddrive and a usb device but only install it on the usb drive

Submitted by SaverioFP on September 8, 2013 - 9:27pm

Hello everyone,
I am a novice to this subject matter so please forgive my ignorance. I would like to know if i can download a portable app to my computer hard drive and usb device, but only install it on my usb device. This way I can keep the version of the app on my pc, as a master, so if i have to reinstall it on the usb drive i have the master app on the pc, copy it to the usb drive and reinstall it?
Any suggestions

Portable Emulators

Submitted by starrysky on September 7, 2013 - 4:20am

Windows machines can do a lot more than just run windows programs and the USB ports can be used for a lot more than just recharging your peripherals and transferring data. Here is a list of Emulators available from PortableApps.com. Almost all of these are in the beta stage or listed as development test, but they seem to work just fine.

Do not ask about ROM or BIOS files.
Do not post links to ROM sites.

Could refresh apps icons also pickup *.com files?

Submitted by TheMand on September 4, 2013 - 8:56am

I recently had to help someone that had some malware installed on his computer. This malware also prohibbited the execution of *.exe files. To solve this I had to download rkill.com. Now I wanted to add the rkill.com in the portableapps tree structure. But when I do a "refresh apps icons" only *.exe files are added but not the *.com files.

Could anyone please tell me what to do about it? Is itrealy not possible or have I missed someting?
