I have webstart application that needs external configuration. Configuration must be external, because it will be changed manually by our customer. I considered adding another jar with this configuration. Application is signed and giving our keys to customer is not a option. I'm leaning towards placing this file to be accessible from web...

There are many RIA frameworks popping up (flex, extjs, gwt to name very few). If my server is written in Java, why not use java web start? The benefits I see: I get to program in a language that is easy to debug (compared to javascript), I can use the same code in server and client side (validations, model objects). With SWT I get ni...
I am looking to sign a war file for distribution via Java Web Start. As I understand it, the jar signer tool ignores the contents of the META-INF directory so that the signing process does not change the digest value of the jar file. Will this same process work for a war file? I've never used a META-INF directory in the root of a war ...
I have an Java application for copying large amounts of data from users' workstations to a server. The java.io.File class is supposed to work with UNC paths very well and in fact it does but only when I run the app in standard execution model. When the application is launched via Web Start I get a FileNotFoundException when trying to op...

Is it possible to display a custom loading message when a user loads a java web start application from a webpage? Maybe a progressbar or something similar. Users with slow connections see "Java Loading..." for far too long while the jars are downloaded for the first time. ...

The pom is as simple as it can get, and the class Test exists, and is being compiled and placed in the jar. Can someone please point me in the right direction? 4...
I'm developing a Java Applet, and reducing the size of the binary code will make the applet open faster and will improve the user experience. Is there anything I can do to reduce the size of classes and / or jar files? I want to be sure I'm not missing obvious tricks. I know that in the C++ world compiler options for e.g. stripping deb...
Is there a way to suppress the password prompt when using Java Webstart with a https server that uses client authentication? I would like to do this, because the webstarted app runs on a touch screen device that got no keyboard and runs in a kiosk mode. Therefore it would be sufficient to either remove the password from the keystore or t...
I'm deploying my project to a web-server to be deployed with java Web Start. However, Web Start uses modification date to figure out whether to download the resources again (by default). What I want is a way to only deploy those (jar) files that do not already exist. This is made possible by having build-version numbers on all my jars, ...
EDIT: After fixing a few issues, the bigger issue that I am having is being caused by Apache POI which I am using. I am working on figuring that out now. Apparently it is being restricted by the Sandbox. I'm very new to Swing, and created a small Swing app that I now need to have run via web start. I'm trying to use the FileOpenService ...

There are a lot of java profilers out there, any recommendations as to what would be best for profiling a java web start application that is being deployed to glassfish inside a war? ...
How would you determine the classes (non Sun JDK classes) loaded / unused by a Java application? Background: I have an legacy Java webstart application that has gone through a lot of code changes and now has a lot of classes, most of which are not used. I would like to reduce the download size of the application by only deploying class...
Our application uses the MapMaker class from Google collections, and we're getting the exception below, but only on OS X 10.4 using webstart. It works fine when launched from an app bundle, and on OS X 10.5 and Windows. This has started happening since our upgrade from RC2 to RC5 (we skipped all the intervening versions). We've since ...
