JNetStart helps launch Java Swing applications that are deployed on a remote server.
One of the key features of this software is that it consists of a server where Swing applications are deployed and a client stub that loads the application classes and resources on demand. This means that the application code is downloaded from the server and runs on the client computer. At the same time, JNetStart ensures that the client never caches anything on the local drive, and the application jars are not downloaded from the server.
Another advantage of JNetStart is that it runs in a secure environment, similar to Java Applets and unsigned applications in WebStart. This is achieved through a secure API that allows developers to create applications that read and write local files and print documents under strict user control.
In terms of new features, JNetStart now includes a new Accendia Browser, which is a generic client specialized in downloading and running Swing code. It also has support for connection through a Web proxy, and the default server port was changed to 443 because most proxies are already configured to allow clients to connect to outside servers running on this port. In addition, there are significant performance improvements in this release.
Overall, JNetStart is a reliable software for launching Java Swing applications from a remote server, and its secure environment and convenient features make it a valuable tool for developers and users alike.
