Basically, it allows for full Java apps to be launched from your browser that can be fully independent from the browser. Double-click on the 'Java Web Start' app in the 'Utilities' folder."

this seems very cool
I messed around with this last night. The technology seems very cool. Maybe there will be a time for mainstream Java Applications if they can be distributed in this fashion.
At this time there are not many programs that I would want to run on WebStart (per list on SUN's site), but I did download a free secure FTP program and it functioned as it should.
If there are any good sources for WebStart programs please post them...
