<b>IcedTea-Web</b> 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.
<br><br>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 automatically. Update and security settings, among others, can be set using the itw-settings command.
<br>IcedTea-Web also includes a plugin to <a href="http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp">enable Java applets</a>
within web browsers.
<br><br>
<h2><b>
Features of NetX:
</b></h2>
<ul>
<li><b>Modular:</b> Easily add JNLP capabilities to an application.</li>
<li><b>Saves Memory:</b> Launch programs in a shared JVM.</li>
<li><b>Fast startup:</b> Runs applications from a cache for fast starting.</li>
<li><b>Security:</b> Run any application in a sandbox or log its activities.</li>
<li><b>Auto-Update:</b> Applications can auto-update without special code.</li>
<li><b>Network Deployment:</b> Deploy to the internet, not with installers.</li>
<li><b>Open Source:</b> GNU Lesser General Public License.</li>
