With 6u10 we have this idea of deploying a Java app via a packaged JNLP which you drag onto the desktop. To convince a user to click on a .jar instead of an .exe for installation can already be a major issue. When I try to rm ~/Library/Caches/Java/deployment.properties. My java webstart runs in sandbox, it doesn't access local files, arbitrary network files, sound recorders, camera, it only needs limited functionalities such as computation, mouse events, etc. It provides a way to launch a desktop Java program from a web link and install it to your users' desktops. In this blog I describe how to webstart an OSGi (Equinox) based application using Eclipse as IDE. Java Web Start is an implementation of the Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) specification. Its original intention is quite good: wish to establish a seamless bridge between desktop apps and Web page. Deploying "My Pirate!" Add a Description and Icon, and. Resources What is Java Web Start? The error message is misleading as the issue turns out to be due to the sandbox environment that Java Web Start uses to protect users from untrusted applications. A couple months ago I noticed that I couldn't launch any Java Web Start application from my browser (by downloading and launching a *.jnlp file). Java has early released JWS technology (Java Web Start). Java Web Start (JWS) is a one-click deployment solution for Java applications on the desktop. Java WebStart is a nice and easy way of deploying Java applications with one click from the web. So where do we The jar files contained in the second jnlp, which is referenced from our first jnlp file, will enable access to the system and all jar files listed as resources will be signed. If so this way to deploy is not nicely integratable with the OS preferred way to deploy applications. Sun has used platform independence as an excuse to do nothing or rather strange things (webstart with the java control panel) for application deployment. Starting in release Java SE 6u10, applets can be deployed using JNLP and have capabilities similar to Java Web Start applications (without the hassle of specifying the codebase).
