How to lauch an application in the cloud from jazz.hub?
For a first test I copied a small game into my project. When I click on the LAUNCH button, I need to authorize for https://api.ng.bluemix.net. What is that? How get I access to it? What does it mean to launch an application in the cloud?

Berthold,
Although the Launch button will eventually support other possibilities, what it currently does is very specific: It packages up the contents of your project and pushes it to a "CloudFoundry NG" compatible PaaS environment. IBM is working on one of these, code named "BlueMix", which you can see at "https://ace.ng.bluemix.net/". I don't believe you can actually use this one yet, however, since it's still in closed beta.
If the thing you are trying to run is a simple web page, you can do that using the "Raw" menu item as is described here:
https://jazz.net/forum/questions/136220/how-to-run-html-or-jsp-files-on-jazzhub
For anything more interesting than that, please let us know what you are trying to build and what you expected to be able to do, to help us plan our next steps.
(Note, if you *are* interested in CloudFoundry development and keen to try the capability out, you should be able to push to any other CloudFoundry NG environment, by changing the "Cloud URL" in the Tools -> Settings -> Applications page so that it points at that foundry's "api..." page. For example, if you have an account at Pivotal, you could target https://api.run.pivotal.io/ )
