Java Web Start software provides a flexible and robust deployment solution for Java technology-based applications based on the Java Community Process program (JCP). The technology is being developed through the JCP program as JSR-56: The Java Network Launching Protocol & API (JNLP), which provides a browser-independent architecture for deploying Java 2 technology-based applications to the client desktop. You can download the Java Web Start specification.

Java Web Start technology works with any browser and any Web server. Each application developed for use with the Java Web Start software specifies which version of the Java 2 platform it requires, e.g., version 1.2 or 1.3, and each application runs on a dedicated Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

谢谢FutureStonesoft(丑石)，终于有位热心人来帮忙了

可是这些都是英文，虽然每个词都认识，理解起来却有困难
我下载了j2se1.4.2的tutorial，比这内容多得多，还是弄不清楚Java Web Start能做些什么？
继续期望热心人的帮助！

我们的项目中用它来下载客户端应用程序

只是一种程序发布方式。例如你做了一个CS的程序，不想去每台机器安装，又要定期升级客户端，用JWS可以节省时间，他会自动更新客户端。

似乎有点感觉了，有哪位高手能说的更清楚一点吗？
