CNET: Google begins barring browser plug-ins from Chrome

[Mark Fortner]

<snip>
When you click a JNLP link (or button, invoke javascript, whatever...) the
browser downloads a JNLP file then runs javaws to open that file. Beyond
that there is no involvement with the browser.

I believe that's true for webstart applications, but not for webstart
applets. In the latter case, webstart is used to handle jar caching and
updating. And in that case, I believe applet startup would be effected.

Cheers,

Mark
