This post serves as a final update to all previous FAQs and blog posts regarding the state of Java applet visualizers in any browser.
As of March 2017, all browers have ceased support for the plugins that are needed to run a Java applet visualizer (such as MultiplotStudio) in a browser.
See this article for more information: https://www.infoq.com/news/2017/02/oracle-java-browser-applet
We are very much aware that being able to visualize your data is a big part of why you use GenePattern. To that end, we are working to rewrite our existing Java applet visualizers in JavaScript. See below for details.
We do, however, offer an app which provides a workaround, allowing you to launch the Java applet visualizers on your desktop. Please read our blog post here for more information.
As of March 2017 we have released the following in JavaScript:
CLSFileCreator
HierarchicalClusteringViewer
ComparativeMarkerSelectionViewer
HeatMapViewer
ConstellationMap
PredictionResultsViewer
igv.js
The following are currently deprecated:
CaArray2ImportViewer
CytoscapeViewer
FeatureSummaryViewer
FLAMEViewer
GeneListSignificanceViewer
GSEALeadingEdgeViewer
JavaTreeView
MAGEMLImportViewer
MAGETABImportViewer
MINCYViewer
Multiplot - Note that this module is for archival only and has been replaced, by the author, with MultiplotStudio
MultiplotStudio
PCAViewer
*PredictionResultsViewer (JavaScript version in alpha - due out in beta in March 2017)
SnpViewer - for archival purposes only, we now recommend the use of IGV for viewing snp data
SOMClusterViewer

Please contact us with any questions you may have, and follow us to get updates on our release process.
