You can launch applets via jnlp as well.

Here is some example:
http://kaioa.com/k/flow4k.jnlp

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17   18   19   20   21   22   23   24   25   26   27

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <jnlp   spec="1.0+"   codebase="http://www.xmunkki.org/projects/flow4k/"   href="http://kaioa.com/k/flow4k.jnlp">   <information>     <title>Flow4k</title>     <vendor>XMunkki.org</vendor>     <homepage href="http://www.xmunkki.org"/>     <description>Drag the smoke into the blue box.</description>     <description kind="short">Flow4k</description>     <offline-allowed/>   </information>   <security>   </security>   <resources>     <j2se version="1.4+"/>     <jar href="Flow4k.jar"/>   </resources>   <applet-desc     documentBase="http://www.xmunkki.org/projects/flow4k/game.html"     name="Flow4k"     main-class="Main"     width="256"     height="288">   </applet-desc> </jnlp>

That is very cool!  Java is so flexible!!!

Having said that, the whole reason I wanted to make it an Applet, was so people could just visit the web page and play the game straight away.   No d/ling of a JNLP file, doesn't add anything to your installed programs list (in Windows based PCs), no window pop-up, etc...

And having said that, if a JNLP file makes it easier for Appel, then I'll go with the flow.
