Editing Installing the Cartographer GUI (section)

==Overview==

The Cartographer GUI is a completely native Java application (not Applet) that does not require any additional libraries nor Jar files other than what comes with the standard Sun distribution.  It does not require any Java Native Interface (JNI) access to system nor third-party libraries.  It communicates with Cartographer agents using the [[XMP]] protocol and can discover and display the dependencies between systems and applications.  '''Finally, the Cartographer GUI is not a manager in the traditional sense in that it neither stores data nor polls agents -- it is a tool to view the dependency relationships between systems and applications in a distributed system.'''
