Java LAN Messenger is a software utility whose purpose is to facilitate your communication with friends and family members, through a LAN connection. The perks of a portable app You are not required to go through the installation process, as this tool is portable. Consequently, it is not going to affect the Windows registry and Start menu/screen in any way, and it not going to leave any traces behind after its removal. You should also know that you can run Java LAN Messenger on the fly, on any PC you have been granted access to and take it with you at all times, by simply moving the program files to a removable data unit and clicking the executable. Clean and user-friendly interfaceThe GUI you are greeted by presents a minimal and straightforward design, as it only includes a menu bar and two panes which enable you to input your written message and view the entire conversation. It becomes quite clear that it is suitable to all user categories, due to its simplistic build. Save conversations and draw on a whiteboardIt is possible to connect or initialize a chat using the client and server mode, while you can also close the connection when you are done talking. This tool enables you to save conversations, with just a click of the button, so that you can read them at a later date or to keep them safe. A whiteboard is also provided, which enables you and the person you are talking with to draw, using custom colors, as well as clean the board and save the resulted picture to the hard drive. Conclusion and performance It does not require large amounts of resources and thus, the system’s performance is not going to be hindered and you can run it alongside other programs without negative consequences. The response time is good, the interface is suitable to power and novice users, and our tests did not reveal any crashes or bugs. All in all, Java LAN Messenger proves to be a small, yet handy piece of software for keeping in touch with people. Reviewed by Madalina Boboc, last updated on May 27th, 2014
