Can I deploy any application with JavaTM Web Start?
Java Web Start is an application launcher for Java 2 technology based applications that are written to be Web-deployed. An application must be delivered in a set of JAR files and all application resources, such as images, configuration files and Native libraries, must be included in the JAR files. The resources must be looked up using the ClassLoader getResource or another method. JavaTM Web Start only transfers JAR files from the Web server to the client. If an application is written to run in a restricted execution environment (sandbox), then access to disk is not permitted and the application may only connect to the host on which it resides.
