change/specify what it should run with.

It do not run in memory by default., If you launh jnlp file/protocol, javaws process will be
started. Once you close it, java will close again. Ech jnlp have its own JVM.

You can select JDK per itw instance. But that is not stright forward.

jnlp is always file at the end. It points to the codebase - the directory with jars.

Itw will read that jnlp and download resources as described in jnlp. then will launch the app via
the jre it is supposed to run with.

Please study a bit jnlp architecture and javaws implementation before other
