IcedTea-Web |
To download the latest release of IcedTea-Web see Downloads.
See Installation Instructions.
The project was formerly hosted as part of the icedtea.classpath.org project but moved to GitHub.
The 1.7 and 1.8 release branches of IcedTeaWeb have been migrated to GitHub for fixing bugs in the previews releases.
Next to this a new project structure has been established in the master branch.
Here the project is being migrated to Maven and more usage of Java 8 APIs are being introduced.
Based on this IcedTeaWeb can be transformed to a general WebStart / JNLP API that JDK and tool vendors can use to offer JNLP functionality.
A good example is OpenWebStart that will be based on IcedTeaWeb.
We love open source. Based on this we develop IcedTeaWeb as an open source project.
