Webstarted Installer
The aim is to provide a simple application that is started using Java Web Start
and provides installation and startup services for a full application.
If you have a java application that you wish to webstart but you also need to retain control
on the layout of application files then you may use this project to help you.
Note that the final result is a blend of webstart technologies and classical application
that allows you to retain the niceness of a web application and the updatabiliy and the
freedom of a classical java application.
A starting point for documentation can be found here
The logic behind the project is here
There is now a working example
If you start this webstart link the webstarted installer will be downloaded and it will ask you if you want to have a quick launch on your desktop and a directory where to save the real application. It will then download the small attached jar (a simple app I wrote in the past to test DnD) and run it.
The next time you restart the app you will not be prompted for the dir or the jars again
It works for me, if people wants features or more docs, just ask :-)
