03 Feb 2009 Learn how to build a small, bare-bones application built on the Eclipse
Framework and deploy it through Java™ Web Start (JWS) — a technology you can
use to deploy Java applications easily over standard Internet sites, enabling easy upgrades
and distribution.
In this tutorial
This tutorial shows how to build an application based on the Eclipse Platform and
how to deploy that application with JWS. This is not to be confused with
building a Rich Client Platform (RCP) application using the Standard Widget
Toolkit (SWT) in Eclipse and using JWS to distribute it.
Prerequisites
You should be familiar with Eclipse and
the Java programming language. Knowledge of XML will be helpful when reading the XML examples.
System requirements
To run the samples, you must have Eclipse V3.3
or later installed and running. You will also need to have
Java V1.5
or later. To run the JWS example, you need access to a running Web server
and the ability to add a MIME-type
association to the Web server, if it's not already properly configured. Ideally,
you should have a local development Web server you can use for testing.
