I did not find Java web start especially hard to use. The hardest part
was getting a certificate.
I found this:
www.dallaway.com/acad/webstart/
pretty helpful, but it is down ATM
thank the google, love the google, serve the google, the google is good,
the google is not evil:

Though you do not need to use ant as the author suggests, you can use
jarsigner: http://javaalmanac.com/egs/java.util.jar/CreateJar.html
Though I had to do -J-Xmx256mb to get it to work.

Is there an easy way to launch a Java Swing application in Windows 2000

I know that I can make a .bat file containing "java ClassName" and then
double click on the file name, or create a shortcut to the .bat file,
but that always seems to open the command window which stays open as
long as the application is running.
My Googling has found Java Web Start, a lot about Java Web Start. I've
started looking at that and it looks like probably it would be easier to
learn to use Java Web Start for my "hello world" application than it
would be to get a Masters degree.
But I still imagine that it can be easy. I am not concerned about
security. I am not loading anything over the net. I just want to start
my local application with no more hassle than starting Notepad.
Can I create a Windows shortcut that says something like
java -classpath path1;path2 MyClass
to the Windows OS, without opening a command window?
Thanks,
Rich Hammer
