Installation

Four steps to your first scene

Run the installer. Launch VisualJava-Setup.exe and follow the wizard — no separate JDK install is required.
Log in, or go offline. On first launch, sign in with your Visual Java Web account (the same account you'd use on this site) to unlock collaboration, the shared whiteboard, and online extensions. No internet or don't want an account? Choose Offline mode instead — you can still use the IDE, just without servers (even local ones) or extensions.
Open Visual Java. Choose New Project, pick 2D or 3D, and give it a name.
Press Run. The default template opens with a player and a moving enemy already wired up — edit Main.jvl and run again to see changes.

Good to know

Before you install

Proprietary software

Visual Java is closed-source software built by jter.

Windows only, for now

1.10 ships a Windows installer. macOS and Linux support is on the roadmap but not available yet — follow Discord for updates.

A note on antivirus warnings

The installer isn't code-signed by a major CA yet, so some antivirus tools may flag it on first run — this is common for small, independent publishers and isn't a sign that anything is wrong. It's served only from visualjava.jter.eu, and you can verify your download with the SHA-256 hash on the Privacy & Security page.
