Hi Justin, I too am flabbergasted that Sun hasn't completed the install method for java. At JavaOne I went nuts at the Webstart people as to when they think their solution will be implemented. But they promised me that signed JVM's and Java3D (and only Java3D) will 'definitely' be implemented within 6 months time.
At the moment I put all the Standard Extensions I use (Java3D, JMF, JAF, JavaMail) with the rest of my webstart files and sign them. This seems to work fine. The client only needs to have webstart installed. I know this isn't a legal solution for final deployment, but it seems perfect for testing purposes. When Sun delivers the extensions properly it will be simple to change back to use the auto download (just a few line changes in the jnlp file). Can you see any problems with this approach?

It seems someone at Sun has decided they don't like people downloading software to automatically install and been a seamless (seemless?) experience for the end users. Miraculously, overnight, the Java3D installers have gone walkabout from Sun's site forcing my demo installer to not function correctly anymore. What was working perfectly yesterday fails to find files today. I'm extremely angry at this. Bloody hell Sun, do you want people to use your products or not? Get the F@*(&%@ lawyers *out* of the process and actually cater to what your customers want otherwise we're going to walk away. -- Justin Couch http://www.vlc.com.au/~justin/ Java Architect & Bit Twiddler http://www.yumetech.com/ Author, Java 3D FAQ Maintainer http://www.j3d.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Humanism is dead.
