[kepler-users] kepler in web mode

[Matt Jones]

Years ago we (Ilkay) worked on a web start version of kepler that we
tried for a while.  It was fairly difficult to set up and maintain,
especially because of a variety of jar signing issues, and we didn't
see many benefits of that approach over a plain installer.  So we
never formally pursued it, and I suspect that you might have a
difficult time trying to get it to work now.  At this point getting it
set up would be a completely new initiative, as any jnlp files and
other artifacts would be so out of date that they wouldn't be useful.

Web start isn't really much of a web mode anyways, in that all you're
really doing is launching an app via a web process.  Have you
considered contributing to one of the web-based Kepler UI efforts,
such as Hydrant or SciencePipes that have been discussed on this list?
We have a Web User Interface interest group that is discussing just
these sorts of issues:
