Hi Chris, I was also thinking about Java Web Start some time ago, but it brings a lot of problems, some of which you have listed..
How do you set the heap size? MS data processing uses a lot of memory, so everyone needs to adjust the heap size according to their physical RAM. Another issue - how to deal with starting the JRE in 32-bit or 64-bit mode? And finally - how do you start MZmine if you don't have internet connection, or it is firewalled etc.? Maintaining both methods (current + java web start) only adds more work..
