Since the release of Java 7 update 45 (Oct 15, 2013) there have been some reports of difficulties with Java and GenePattern visualizers.
Release notes from Oracle can be found here.
The most prominent change in this latest release (as pertains to most GenePattern users) is a warning message that will appear when you try to run any Java app which is from an "unknown" publisher and does not have a, now required, permissions attribute.
The GenePattern team is looking into how we can address this warning such that our software will not be blocked in a future release of Java. In the mean time. you can simply check the box next to "I accept the risk..." and then click run. This should allow you to use any visualizers as before. If you have any other issues after allowing the acception, please refer to this previous blog post about Java 7...

The folks here on the GenePattern and GenomeSpace teams thought it might be nice to point out a little "pro tip" for you Dropbox users out there.
Back in July GenomeSpace announced the ability to connect to your Dropbox files via GenomeSpace. Which means, you can also use your Dropbox files in GenePattern.
So, how do you go about setting this up.
Step 1: Create or log in to your GenomeSpace account
Step 2: Follow the direction in this GenomeSpace blog to set up our Dropbox/GenomeSpace connection
Step 3: Either log into GenePattern using GenomeSpace
