Description and Download
JWM is a window manager for the X11 Window System. JWM is written in C and uses only Xlib at a minimum. The following libraries can also be used if available:
- libXext for the shape extension
- libXext for the render extension
- libXmu for drawing rounded windows (shape extension also needed)
- libXinerama for Xinerama support
- libXpm for XPM backgrounds and icons
- libjpeg for JPEG backgrounds and icons
- libpng for PNG backgrounds and icons
- libxft for antialiased and true type fonts
- libfribidi for right-to-left language support
It can support some MWM, GNOME, and
WM Spec hints.

Lastest SVN snapshot (updated nightly from my local repository):

(revision 468).
Platforms
JWM should compile and run on any UNIX system running X11.
Compilation and Installation
JWM is distributed in source form. To compile JWM, first run
"./configure" (see "./configure --help" for options).
Next run "make" and, finally, "make install" to install
JWM. "make install" will install the binary, the default
configuration file, and the man page.
Any user wishing to use JWM will probably want a copy of the configuration
file in his/her home directory (otherwise the default will be used).
After installing JWM, if you wish to run JWM instead of your default
window manager, you will need to make the appropriate changes to have X11
execute JWM. On Irix, this involves making ".xsession" look
something like this:
