h1. Installing JAS3, Java and the LCSim Plugin
h2. What is JAS3?
[Java Analysis Studio|http://jas.freehep.org/] or JAS is a studio (GUI) application built upon the [Java programming language|http://java.sun.com]. It has an integrated compiler and class loader and can load and compile user Java programs on-the-fly. JAS benefits from key features of Java, itself, such as dynamic class loading and unloading, extensive built-in utility libraries and the ease which cross-platform GUIs can be developed using the SWING toolkit. It implements the [Abstract Intefaces for Data Analysis|http://aida.freehep.org/index.thtml] for plotting and has a built-in [WIRED4|http://wired.freehep.org/index.html] event display. JAS has a plugin system for extending the functionality of the application by adding support for different event displays, IO formats, etc. {info:title=JAS3}
The current version of JAS is [JAS3|http://jas.freehep.org/jas3/]. {info}
