I don't use chrome - are you saying Chrome has Java built into it so I don't have to install it for my system?

No browser has Java built in today (or ever as far as I know. ) Chrome has Flash built in though.

I'm not a programmer so I'm looking for some confirmation - the above does indicate that this product is written in, and requires the end user to have Java installed?
You are reading the installation requirements. Java is 99% of the time a server side technology. Tomcat is a server side Java container.
This is a web app, on the client you just need a browser.

Yeah, it uses some Java. It works great from within Chrome though, rendered PDF's , TXT files, Word Docs, etc. I'm quite impressed with it and may give it a try with some of the Google Drive and Dropbox functionality.
It used Java in the client? That seems very unlikely.

Nothing it what you showed as requirement suggests any Java on the client.

When I tried to invoke the demo it tried envoking Java on my client.

That sucks. What a bad design decision. But it remains unrelated to the install requirements that you were looking at. Java on the server and Java on the client share no relationship.

Understood
I wonder if I did my own install if it would still require Java on the client side or it's simply their implementation on their server?

I tried the demo. Yup they used Java. What a fail!

Doing your own install won't change anything. It's the interface of the app that requires Java. Only a code change will change that.

GPL2 license. Project is still going. I added tags.

Yeah, seems like it has updated a lot.

Yeah, seems like it has updated a lot.
For Linux, its like they only support LTS distros.
A little behind the time for Windows support.
