6 icedtea-web provides a Free Software web browser plugin running applets
7 and an implementation of Web Start, originally based on the NetX
8 project.
9
10 NetX allows applets and applications to be downloaded over the network,
11 cached, and (by default) run in a secure sandbox environment. Subse‐
12 quent runs of the applet download the latest version automatically. Up‐
13 date and security settings, among others, can be set using the itw-set‐
14 tings command.
15 icedtea-web no longer includes a plugin to enable applets
16 (http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp) within web browsers.
