[Jeffrey H. Coffield]

How would you phrase this?

"Use the SetClock Java Webstart Weblet to set your clock"
"Use the SetClock Java Webstart Application to set your clock"
"Use the SetClock Java Webstart Applet to set your clock"
"Use the SetClock Java Webstart to set your clock"

It is a an application, launched from a browser,

I haven't heard of a Weblet (yet) and as I understand it, Java Applets
and Java Webstart are two different things. An applet, I believe, always
runs in the context of a browser where a Webstart app can be run outside
of a browser.

"Use the SetClock Java Webstart Application to set your clock" sounds
the most accurate to me.

How would you phrase this?

"Use the SetClock Java Webstart Weblet to set your clock"
"Use the SetClock Java Webstart Application to set your clock"
"Use the SetClock Java Webstart Applet to set your clock"
"Use the SetClock Java Webstart to set your clock"

It is a an application, launched from a browser,

"Use the SetClock Java Web Start application to set your clock."
(Spelling and punctuation count.)

With the proviso that the application isn't really a "Java Web Start
application", just an application, so really I'd phrase it,
"Use the SetClock application via Java TM Web Start to set your clock."

 

[Arne Vajhøj]

"Use the SetClock Java Web Start application to set your clock."
(Spelling and punctuation count.)

With the proviso that the application isn't really a "Java Web Start
application", just an application, so really I'd phrase it,
"Use the SetClock application via Java TM Web Start to set your clock."

The first seems more easy to say than the last.

And accurate enough.

And so neither an applet (which is not an application) nor a weblet (which
does not exist [1]), nor a webstart (which is not a kind of thing).

"Use the SetClock Java Web Start application to set your clock."
(Spelling and punctuation count.)

With the proviso that the application isn't really a "Java Web Start
application", just an application, so really I'd phrase it,
"Use the SetClock application via Java TM Web Start to set your clock."

A+++++++ would second this suggestion again.

I'd phrase it more like "Use the SetClock application to set your clock;
you can launch this from your browser using Java Web Start", but then i
like semicolons.

The first seems more easy to say than the last.

And accurate enough.

Except for being inaccurate.

 

[Arne Vajhøj]

Except for being inaccurate.

Calling an application being launched via Java Web Start for a
Java Web Start application does not sound that bad to me.
