WebStart is becoming the most prominent and
reliable way to launch Java apps.
(Waits for any number of people to jump in to
'dispute the numbers'..)
I'm not a Java programmer,
Do you deploy these applets? There are any
number of horrid deployment gotcha's with
applets, depending on the HTML, the exact Java
version, and the micro-version of the browser.
Trust no words to the effect 'applets work
fine these days' assurances. This is wrong.
It always has been, and always will be.
(Some of the more recent problems range from
the security environment surrounding Java applets
in IE on Vista, to FF reloading the applet on
'scroll up' in the web page..)
..but I'm trying to solve some application
compatibility issues with locked down security settings on Windows.
Your best bet is to deploy the applets using
web start. There are still things to trip up
the process. But they are fewer and generally
less problematic.
(And my apologies if I cross-posted too broadly -- I don't know which
newsgroups provide the best responses.)
I dropped the F-U to c.l.j.dev - Google refuses
to post to it, and will set the follow-ups to
c.l.j.p. only, since I've never heard of the
first 'dev' group, and softwaretools is very slow.
