The application can be re-launched later from a desktop shortcut or launch menu item using the standard JNLP and Java Web Start technologies. Choose Java Web Start > Enable Java Web Start. Java WebStart is a nice and easy way of deploying Java applications with one click from the web. It's much In fact, with the right JNLP, you can turn any existing applet into a JWS app without any modifications. How do you configure the application (e.g. With Java SE 6 Update 10, Sun Microsystems, Inc. You can deploy JavaFX applications as standalone application, as Applet within a web browser, or run it via Java WebStart. The article starts out with a folksy portrayal of what Java Web Start (JWS) offers: Java Web Start (JWS) has always had great potential. Since Java 6 Update 10, Sun has distributed an NPAPI plugin and ActiveX control called "Java Deployment Toolkit" to provide developers with a simpler method of distributing their applications to end users. Java Web Start (henceforth, jws) provides java developers with a way to let users launch and install their applications using a URL to a Java Networking Launching Protocol (.jnlp) file (essentially some xml describing the program). Introduces a new paradigm for application deployment over the Internet: the ability to drag a live, running applet out of the web browser, dynamically transforming it into an application running on the desktop. Once deployed, the programs do not need to be downloaded again, and they can automatically download updates on startup without requiring the user to go through the whole installation process again.” This tutorial shows you how to create a Java Web Start (Jnlp) file for user to download, when user click on the downloaded jnlp file, launch a simple AWT program. Java Web Start is a technology for deploying and updating desktop Java applications easily from a web server. In this blog I describe how to webstart an OSGi (Equinox) based application using Eclipse as IDE.
