Janek's weblog where all posts go to Eleven
All views and documentation expressed here are mine and not necessarily those of my employer.
On my quest for tools that help with automatic updates of Java applications I found a couple of articles, tools and libraries:
Most of the comments and several emails suggested Java Web Start. I still don't know enough about it. Most of our users don't have Java installed. To take care of that our application comes with it's own JVM. It is private and not registered with the system. I have no clue how to integrate that with Web Start/JNLP. The FAQ doesn't help.
Anyway, next step: evaluation.
