Java Web Start provides the power to launch full-featured Java applications with a single click. This one-click deployment solution for Java applications on the desktop leverages the Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP) API. A couple months ago I noticed that I couldn't launch any Java Web Start application from my browser (by downloading and launching a *.jnlp file). When I try to rm ~/Library/Caches/Java/deployment.properties. Sun has used platform independence as an excuse to do nothing or rather strange things (webstart with the java control panel) for application deployment. If so this way to deploy is not nicely integratable with the OS preferred way to deploy applications. Java Web Start is full of bugs that never get resolved and make it next to unusable, and very costly, in business environment. If you have some qualms about performance, try deploying the applet using JNLP (aka WebStart). If you have thousands of users who tend to Recently I was trying to move away from web-based JWS to one that delivers jars and jnlp to the client and installs locally. With 6u10 we have this idea of deploying a Java app via a packaged JNLP which you drag onto the desktop. To convince a user to click on a .jar instead of an .exe for installation can already be a major issue.
