To be more precise :-) you can perfectly do the thing with JWS and you
need Eclipse or NetBeans only if you additionally want the update control
to be exposed to the user (e.g., you can have an update center with a nice
UI where you can choose what to update - can be a bad idea in an
enterprise).
A third reason, you want your app to run anywhere and it needs features
not available to webapps.
Exactly. For instance you need computationally intensive clients with
multithreading.
While it's correct that often there aren't strict WORA needs in deployment
(usually you control all the clients, so they are e.g. all Windows, or all
Linux, or all Mac OS X), the typical benefit of WORA is that you can
develop with a different platform than production without much hassle. For
what I can say, I often see developers using Linux and deployment to
Windows.
