yes it does ... but only to the java web start program ; It could create a link to the installer, not to the node :| 2 solutions comes : Either using antinstaller to startup the node (it would detect that it's already installed and will just silently launch the node -possibly looking for updates before-) Or deploying the node as a java web start program itself, so that it will always fetch the most up-to-date version (it means getting rid of the installer and that the node should be able to be configured from proxy). I'll investigate that and see how feasible it is. NextGen$ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
