One question--why is there no forum for community participation in JWS? I mean someplace we can discuss what features should be in place, problems there are, etc. I would love to see that. Two issues that came up recently I sent to the JWS team but got no response--there was a web form I found on a Sun site for JWS. That's OK, just want some way to give feedback.
There are a few issues that bother me right now. One is that my testing showed that for Tiger, if two JNLP apps reference the same JAR file (fully-qualified), two copies are pulled down, even though the JAR should be cached, I think. The second issue is that it seems JWS is single-threading the downloads (at least, that's how it looks from the status dialogue). Why not have an option for parallel downloads for certain deployments? Certainly in a corporate environment you can count on the bandwidth.
The third is that the JWS console is kind of hidden, at least on Windows. It's really a problem with JNLP apps being in their own class of things. What I want is a quick way to check the cache, flush it, get the latest versions, etc. I would normally expect to do this from add/remove programs, but the JWS apps there appear as normal apps. I end up hunting for the console whenever I need to flush the cache. Sorry, this is really griping as I don't know what exactly I'd prefer.
I have to say I have been enjoying JWS as an end-user checking out new demos from people on the web.
