Don't Get Me Started...

Pito has been struggling with Java Web Start (JWS). His verdict: "it sucks eggs". JWS is a good idea but badly executed. This article sums up why JWS is just not worth the trouble. The end user (not a technical person) is presented with a confusing mishmash of scary dialogs. Is this the "out of box" experience that you want your user to go through? Probably not. They'll find something else that's easier to install.
