Hey Dave, this is Paul - just wanted to submit a
"support request (he he)" asking that you provide a
JWS-based deployment of BasicQuery. This way, anytime
you release updated Jars, users can get them
automatically. This virtually guarantees users always
are running the most recent version of the tool. I do
this for BasicXSLT now - if you care, take a look at
the build.xml for BasicXSLT. There's a "signjars"
target that signs all of the Jars (this is required so
that the app can play outside of the sandbox on the
client machine) as well as a "deploy" target that scp's
the jars to sourceforge.

FYI JWS allows you to automatically create shortcuts
for your app on the client-machine just like
InstallAnywhere does...

Just a thought...

Regards,

-Paul
