That is correct.

But that is what Java Web Start is really intended for.

You click on a link to a JNLP file with all sorts
of instructions on how to run, Java Web Start check if it
already have Java code in local cache or need to download.

It is an easy way to keep a Java application uptodate at
client PC's.

The .NET equivalent is ClickOnce.

Java Web Start never became a success.

And I think that what most people think about when they hear
Java Web Start is the case where JNLP and Java Web Start
is used to run applets.

But that is really only a very special case.

And even though I have not seen it described anywhere then
I would expect this possibility to be dropped together with
classic applet support.
