Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Hi,

I would like to use JNLP as it I like the method of specifying an application's configuration, eg jars, properties and native libraries. It's more controlled and versionable than having to use a command line 3 metres long.

However, we use Marimba Castanet and I want to stick with that, so no need for Web Start. My question then is does the JNLP or another package have an API that will allow me to start a java application using a .jnlp file without going through web start?

Also I need my application to have unfettered securiry access without signing the jars, just as it does at the moment where the application is started from the command line.

Thanks, jamie
