Synopsis

javaws
javaws [ options ] url

Description

javaws is the command-line interface to the Java Web Start network application launcher. When started without a url, javaws displays a graphical cache viewer which allows cached applications to be launched and Java Web Start to be configured.

If the URL of a JNLP (Java Network Launching Protocol) is specified on the command line, javaws launches the specified application.
