Sh*te! I have been promising myself for some time,
that I am going to develop a 'rock solid'* launch for
web-start projects, that either manages to launch
the project smoothly, or keeps the user well informed
about how to correct problems/why it failed.

Well, it is rock solid in as much that I didn't have to prod anything except to tell Opera whether the save or open the download. This is normal: I hadn't downloaded anything with that extension before. Once I'd clicked "Open" it all went straight through and popped up your window with a correct list of the stuff I was running.


So the shorter answer is, your result (especially for
Opera) was "Kind of expected, but not optimal".

OK

(Grumbles.. Bloody 'Opera')

Yes, I have the impression that it may have gone downhill a bit since version 7 - creeping featuritis.

It also has a few annoyances, like getting stuck in some websites unless I use the history list to skip a level or two, though I'm not sure it that's really opera or more properly down to web sites with mickey mouse "intelligent" invisible initial pages.

Huhh?! I have failed somewhere in this thread
(yes, besides the failed launch).

As you didn't answer the question directly I assumed, evidently wrongly, that it wasn't possible.

You can
- throw a main() into a regular applet that shows it in
a frame,
- develop a GUI in a JPanel that can be dropped
into a JFrame or a JApplet, or the equivalent
- Panel that can be put in a Frame or Applet..

That's clear and makes sense. Thanks.
