[jsword-devel] WebStart and BibleDesktop

[DM Smith]

I've tested it with the inclusion of xalan (3 jars, ~5G) and it works.

BTW all you need to do is have them on your classpath.

If any of you want to give it a go:

If you need to set an association for Java WebStart. (I had accidentally set it to open in a text editor and had to reset the association.)

In Him,

>> The link seems broken. Is this related to our use of classloaders? I still think we shouldn't be using classloaders. Usually, one introduces classloaders to isolate parts of the application from other parts. For example Tomcat isolates different webapps from each other, but each webapp has access to the parent classloader. Or for example, within a webapp, Spring might isolate various components such as the servlets from the services declared.
