NAME

icedtea-web provides a Free Software web browser plugin running applets and an implementation of Web Start, originally based on the NetX project.


NetX allows applets and applications to be downloaded over the network, cached, and (by default) run in a secure sandbox environment. Subsequent runs of the applet download the latest version automatically. Update and security settings, among others, can be set using the itw-settings command.
icedtea-web no longer includes a plugin to enable applets (http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp) within web browsers.
