Can proguard be used to build deployment bundle for JWS?

[Jeff Palmer]

That is good to hear.  That line uses the word bundle & thought it must mean
embed.  Might be too much information for just followers.

I am assuming now that putting
deploy.createWebStartLaunchButton("my_app.jnlp", "1.7.0") of deployJava.js
in html page is all that I need to do.  Also am assuming Java.com is only
gone to for runtime checking of subsequent launches.  FYI, java.com seems
stuck on installing 1.6.
