A few months ago we looked at "Java Web Start" as a possible option for deployment of Fred. At the time the most serious problem with it was that it was still pre-release, and a complex sign-up procedure was required before users could get their hands on it. Since users needed to download it, before they could install any software using it, this made it next to useless.
However, version 1.0 has now been released, and is easily downloadable from http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/ (they even autodetect your operating system). Is anyone interested in creating and maintaining a web-start deployment of Freenet? Ideally you should write scripts so that a deployment can be created automatically.
