# Service Browser
v2.0_002 Release Notes

### Description

The Service Browser lets you discover lookup services and inspect the various services registered within those lookup services.

### Changes since the v1.2.X release

Command Line Changes
  The Service Browser is now started with a different command line than was used in previous versions of the starter kit, due to both JAR file changes and a switch to using new configuration facilities.

JAR File Changes
  The Service Browser is no longer part of a multi-purpose `jini-examples.jar` file. Instead, it is now placed in its own JAR file, `browser.jar`, with its own download JAR file, `browser-dl.jar`.

Configuration
  The Service Browser can now be configured using the `com.sun.jini.example.browser` `Configuration` component, replacing and extending the command line options used in previous releases. Configurable aspects include the initial lookup groups and locators to discover, the exporter used to export remove event listeners, and proxy preparers for leases and service proxies. A full list of supported configuration entries is given in the `com.sun.jini.example.browser` package documentation.

Default View Changes
  By default, the Service Browser now comes up in the folder view that in previous releases was obtained with the `-admin` command line option. The `folderView` configuration entry can be set to `false` to obtain the text-based view that was the default in previous releases.

Menu Changes
  The Find Groups entry in the File menu has been renamed to Find By Group. The Find One entry in the File menu has been renamed to Find By Address, and has been enhanced to allow more than one lookup service address to be input.

Merged Browsers
  The JavaSpaces(TM) browser has been merged in with the Service Browser; they are no longer separate tools.

Logging
  The Service Browser now logs diagnostic information to the `Logger` named `com.sun.jini.example.browser`. A list of logged events is given in the `com.sun.jini.example.browser` package documentation.
