Google Chrome Browser - new way to run desktop applications

843810Sep 5 2008
Google's new Chrome Browser is pretty cool, worth taking a look.

If you have a web applet, you can get Chrome to run it full screen, ie minimal browser tool bars.
This then looks very similar to what you would get if you used Java Web Start, except it is an applet.

To do this you need to load your web app into Chrome,
then follow the page icon and select "Create application shortcuts..."
This puts a short cut on eg your desktop, that will open your applet full screen.

I'm impressed!
