One of our users has specifically requested this feature, so I'm
bumping up the priority and assigning it to myself. We are
pretty flexible with checking for platform issues at runtime, so
I think our deployment descriptor should be pretty simple.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
James and I looked at this a bit, and there seems to be one
big problem-- once our jar is downloaded and started through
Web Start, the System classpath does not include the jar
itself. (It only includes the Web Start jar...) This
prevents us from starting up a new process with our own jar
on the classpath, so we can't start the InterpreterJVM.
If we could figure out the filename of our jar (which is
cached to a temporary directory), then we could probably get
this to work. No idea how to do that, though. Perhaps we
can submit something to the Java forums....

I think this is a pretty small project.

I was hoping they would make one of these too, because I
don't have a server I control with webstart on it.
