Java Web Start (intro)
15 April 2008Ever thought of launching full-featured Java applications with a single click? Java Web Start provided with Java Standard Edition (J2SE™), version 5.0 helps making this possible. In this post, I will introduce you to this new and exciting feature.
Java Web Start simplifies a lot of things. For instance a complete spreadsheet program or an Internet chat client normally involves going through complicated installation procedures. But with Java Web Start, you can download and launch applications without any fuss.
When you access an application through Java Web Start, the application integrates with your desktop. So for you, the application will work as a native application.
Java Web Start also manages Java™ Runtime Environment versions by automatically updating the application version. It also simplifies deployment of the applications. The design and development of applications using Java Web Start is the same as it is for any other Java applications. Another plus point is that migrating a legacy application to Java Web Start is trivial. If you want to deploy the web applications, Java Web Start is the right choice for you since it involves just a few simple steps on the Web server.
