Senhores,
Quando é realizada a instalação do J2SDK, é instalado tb um aplicativo chamado Java Web Start. Qual a finalidade desse aplicativo. Tb vejo instalado em algumas estações de trabalho o aplicativo Draw 4 APP, gostaria de saber tb se esse aplicativo tem alguma relação com o J2SDK. Obrigado e desculpem pelo nível tão primário das perguntas.

O Java Web Start eh um programinha que ajuda a distribuir aplicacoes Java em maquinas desktop. Uma procurada no google te leva de cara ao site dele:

[quote]What is Java Web Start?
Java Web Start is a software technology that encompasses the portability of applets, the maintainability of Servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology, and the simplicity of markup languages such as XML and HTML. It is a Java-based application that allows full-featured Java 2 client applications to be launched, deployed, and updated from a standard Web server. Upon launching Java Web Start for the first time, the user may download new client applications from the Web; thereafter these applications may be initiated either through a link on a Web page or (in Windows) from desktop icons or the Start menu. Applications initialize quickly under Java Web Start, are cached on the client machine, and can be launched remotely offline. Additionally, because Java Web Start is built from Java 2 technology, it inherits the Java platform’s complete security architecture.
Since Java Web Start is, in itself, a Java application, the software is platform independent and can be supported on any client system that supports the Java 2 platform. Java Web Start performs an update automatically when a client application is launched, downloading the latest code from the Web while simultaneously loading the application from a previous cache (provided that a cache exists). Java Web Start also provides a Java Application Manager utility, allowing end-users to organize their Java applications as well as providing a variety of options, such as clearing the cache of downloaded applications, specifying the use of multiple JREs, and setting HTTP proxies.
