Hi!

I suggest to make a common webstart interface for eXist.
So we could have many client applications or applets instead
one "Admin client" as just  And every can create self own
applet/applicationfor eXist.

So I'd committed new webstart stuff, look webapp/webstart.
You can crate an any dynamic jnlp on xquery and use any
eXist's jar or any jar from core, optional,. extensions or user lib.
For this I had committed a new LibModule with functions
lib:get-lib() and lib:get-lib-info().
(You can rename one as you want).

As you can see this is extension, like fluent.
and eXist could be compiled without one.
So your suggestion is not correct, sorry.

This extension is a new kind of REST client for
manage documents stored in the eXist's DB on
native applications, like Open Office, MS Office,
or any another application (depend from your OS and
applications which you can use).

Just I'm working on client applet which will help
create/manage/edit/store docs in any desktop
application directly from browser via REST.

Idea is give users a HTML interface with links to any docs.
After clicking by so link user will get doc opened in
his desktop application and could edit one and store then.
After storing doc, applet will store doc back into server.
So user can open, edit, store any kind of
doc, stored in DB, directly from browser without webdavfs
or any kind of shares (like smb+davfs) and without using
download/upload files process (via html forms).
Think this can make IS based on eXist more friendly for
users, not for geeks or programmers, and adding unique
features.
