>From the FAQ: Sun's Java Web Start (JWS) is the reference implementation of JNLP. Sun has made little effort to separate JWS from JNLP in the public's mind. While Java Web Start certainly does a fine job of implementing JNLP, it is like most Sun Java technology that supports only a limited number of platforms. It is also not Open Source Software. -- Guillaume Rousse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG key http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/~rousse/gpgkey.html
