Years ago we (Ilkay) worked on a web start version of kepler that we tried for a while. It was fairly difficult to set up and maintain, especially because of a variety of jar signing issues, and we didn't see many benefits of that approach over a plain installer. So we never formally pursued it, and I suspect that you might have a difficult time trying to get it to work now. At this point getting it set up would be a completely new initiative, as any jnlp files and other artifacts would be so out of date that they wouldn't be useful.
Web start isn't really much of a web mode anyways, in that all you're really doing is launching an app via a web process. Have you considered contributing to one of the web-based Kepler UI efforts, such as Hydrant or SciencePipes that have been discussed on this list? We have a Web User Interface interest group that is discussing just these sorts of issues: https://kepler-project.org/developers/interest-groups/webui Matt On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 1:20 AM, tkd <thinkalldifferently at gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm interested on using Kepler in a web mode.
