We've actually got a shipping, commercial product (ReportMill) that is deployed via Java Web Start. We've encountered a few minor problems when trying to restrict which version of the JRE is in use and auto-updating failing sometimes when a user has multiple copies of our JAR file sitting around (i.e., they downloaded it manually). For the most part, however, it's been a tremendous success for us. We release new versions of our product (bug fixes, etc) every couple of weeks and our customers love the fact that they get that stuff automatically as soon as it's released. It's also made evaluation of our product easy for people--they just click a link on our website and in minutes they're running the application.
