Hi, This is for Paul Pantera or anyone from Sun: Any chance you could provide <something> saying you are still working on the "auto-install" ? A date will be great, a deadline would be helpful, a general vicinity would be appreciated, a no-later-than-September will be fine and a "Please continue being patient" will also do.
Thanx, Asaf. P.S, Godlets from "J3d": The process described in Paul's http://www.j3d.org/tutorials/quick_fix/auto_install.html article apparently doesn't work (as Daniel Selman says in his book <Thanx Daniel>), and is illegal anyhow, so why publish it, and why tell everybody here on the list to try it? > Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 08:32:29 -0400 > From: "J.

You can't do Java Web Start support yourself either, for the same reason (licensing/legal issues). We have everything working in the lab and it's very cool. We are waiting on the remaining pieces from groups withing Javasoft, and when everything's ready, we'll be the first optional package available for auto-download. -Paul > Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > MIME-Version: 1.0 > Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 08:32:29 -0400 > From: "J.
