Running Java Web Start applications

You usually run a Java Web Start application the first time in your web browser application. Click the link to a Java Web Start application in your browser to download the application and start running it.

You only need to run an application in your browser the first time. After that, you can run the application using the Java Cache Viewer application. Downloaded applications appear in the Application Manager window.

To run an application you have downloaded:

  1. Choose View > The type of item you want to view, for example: Applications.
  2. Select the item you want to run in the window, then click Launch Offline to run the currently installed item or click Launch Online to run the latest version from the web.
