From what I remember from back when I had this problem, there are
generally three different cases that you may want to distinguish
between:
1) Running as stand-alone application.
2) Running in a restricted webstart sandbox.
3) Running in an unrestricted webstart sandbox.
Case (3) typically happens when you sign your webstart app and the
user accepts your signature.
You are quite right Bent. I am just differentating
between standalone and webstarted. I don't make a difference
between sandboxed and unrestricted sandboxed.
And it is true that running as a standalone application
is different from running as a unrestricted sandbox.
For instance, I would like to be able to control the classpath
in an unrestricted webstarted sandbox. Until now, I found no
means to do so, which prevents me to create a webstarted demo
of some software I developed.(I need to set a local directory
as the first element in the current classpath).
To explain why I like to control that classPath: my software
includes a ResourceBundle Editor that enables a user to edit any
existing ResourceBundle in any Locale, thus enabling a user to translate
the entire JVM and any application available, and have the results
be in effect immediately upon saving those bundles
(without restarting the application).
