Hi to all,
I've tried the Kitchen Sink Demo via Web Start and all works good: great.

One other thing that could be done, also to test if the Apache
infrastructure is fully configured for this could be to add in that
jnlp file a reference to pack.gz version of jars (available only to
Java 6U10 or higher, but discarded in previous versions) ... maybe
some mime type has to be configured, the only way is to try it.

And a last optimization of this could be to move Pivot jars in a
dedicated jnlp file, and have all Web Start demos refer to it via the
jnlp referring syntax:
in the jnlp file, under resources i could use:
<extension name="pivot" href="http://some.server.com/pivot.jnlp"; />

and maybe also others (standard)
<extension name="pivot-dependencies"
href="http://some.server.com/pivot-dependencies.jnlp"; />


So any demo could list only its jars.


And the same could be done also adding the new applet param
"jnlp_href" to refer to a jnlp file, for applet demos ...

If needed, i could help on this, also to clarify the details.
Here is a source of many infos: https://jdk6.dev.java.net/plugin2/jnlp/
and here others (but without using the versioning feature):
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/tools/pack200.html



Ah, finally i found time to write an implementation of
Preferences-like structure with a Web Start back-end to save/load data
in a JSON format (should be usable also from Java 6U10+ from applets
using the new jnlp_href param) ... when ready I'll post files or send
to Greg for review ...

Bye,
Sandro
