Hi all, We have found that using webstart to deploy applications or applets has totally simplified every aspect of deployment. It is getting better!!!
Or you can pay for Install Anywhere but after lots of research there is no reason to go any other way than webstart.

I still feel that "distribution" is the WORST problem of Java. It's a nightmare to support anything other than a closed environment. Java is fine for internal use in a customer where I can update and control which version of Java is installed on every PC, but for mass distribution?
