NAME
icedtea-web provides a Free Software web browser plugin running applets
written in the Java programming language and an implementation of Java
Web Start, originally based on the NetX project.
NetX allows Java applets and applications to be downloaded over the
network, cached, and (by default) run in a secure sandbox environment.
Subsequent runs of the applet download the latest version automati‐
cally. Update and security settings, among others, can be set using the
itw-settings command.
icedtea-web also includes a plugin to enable Java applets
(http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp) within web browsers.
