I have experimented with it. The thing I like best is that if there is a new version of the software, the Web Start client will go download the newest version before running the application. In this way, everyone will always be using the latest version of the software!

I would | provide a java web start link on a public web | site for you all, but I guess that would be a violation of | the JESS copyright :( | So a question to all of you: | Did you experiment with java web start? | How did you like it? | | And a question to Ernest: | How about having a java web start link for JESS on the Sandia | web page? Then anyone could try JESS without having to worry | about classpath issues etc. | | ... and since the web start technology will be incorporated | into jdk 1.4, we will all come across it sooner or later anyway | | greeting from sunny Vienna | | :) Oliver Hoffmann | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users | [EMAIL PROTECTED]' | in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list | (use your own address!)
