Hi Peter,
we use Web Start in a customer project.
It's a good solution to deploy Java applications as a JAR file, even with
native code and such.
Some caveats:
-The security manager can get in your
way if you want things like filesystem access. You have to sign your jar
and each user has to acc
about speaking
up on this. After all, it's *your* project, and what the f*** do I have to
say about it. Ok, this time I decided to do it. Please don't be offended
- it's really meant as a personal opinion from an interested bystander.
I hope you can accept it as such.
Thanks for listening,
Arnd Beissner

Peter, it really helps if you have a strong background on PostScript, PDF
and fonts as well as text formatting. Also,

Cerious Software (www.cerious.com) has a (Windows) product called ThumbsPlus (about $150 or so),
which includes batch transformations - I have used it to do batch color transformations, but of
course it also does simple load-save-transformations.
I don't know whether FOP/Jimi handles JPEGs saved
logging (in production code) is always only a diagnostic
enhancement of error handling - not a replacement.
BTW: Yes, I do prefer log output over no error handling at all. 8-)

If the decision goes toward a full replacement, I'd say that at least all existing FOP committers and possibly
