Java Web Start applications follow the guidelines laid out for standard JNLP-based applications. Your JNLP file should specify a J2SE Version key. This key is evaluated to determine whether to run your application with Java 1.3.1 or Java 1.4.1. The values presented in Table 3-1 also apply to Java Web Start applications. For more information on Java Web Start, see the Developers Guide at http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/1.2/docs/developersguide.html.
If you do not specify a value for the j2seversion key, Java 1.3.1 is used by the application.
When a user runs the same Java Web Start application multiple times, Mac OS X provides the option of building a native application bundle around that application. With this release of Java 1.4.1 these application bundles always launch with Java 1.3.1 regardless of what the JNLP file says.
