NAME
       javaws - Java Web Start launcher command

SYNOPSIS
       javaws [ options ] [ URL ]

PARAMETERS
       options	      Command-line options.  Options many be in any order. For
		      a discussion of the various options, see OPTIONS below.

       URL	      Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the JNLP (Java Network
		      Launching Protocol) file.

DESCRIPTION
       The  javaws  command  launches  Java  Web Start, which is the reference
       implementation of the Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP).  Java Web
       Start launches java application/applets hosted on a network.

       Without	any  options javaws will launch the Java JNLP Application Man‐
       ager, from which users can launch applications/applet or configure Java
       Web Start.

       If  a  URL  for	a  JNLP file is specified, javaws will launch the Java
       application/applet specified in the JNLP file.

OPTIONS
       The javaws launcher has a set of options that are supported in the cur‐
       rent release.  However, the options may be removed in a future release.
       All -X options are non-standard and subject to change.

       -offline
	      Runs Java Web Start in offline mode.

       -uninstall URL
	      Removes a specific application/applet from the user's cache,  as
	      indicated by the URL for the JNLP file. Java Web Start will exit
	      after the command has completed.

       -updateVersions
	      Updates the Java Web Start configuration file based on the  cur‐
	      rent  machine's settings. Java Web Start will exit when the com‐
	      mand is completed.

       -Xclearcache
	      Clears the user's cache.	Java Web Start	will  exit  after  the
	      command has completed.

       -Xnosplash
	      Disables the display of the initial splash screen.

       -import

	      there will be no UI pop up. The process exit code will be either
	      0 if successful or 1 if not.

       -codebase URL
	      Replaces the codebase with URL in the jnlp file  specified  when
	      importing the resources. URL must be a valid URL.

       -system
	      Uses the system cache instead of the user cache.

       -shortcut

       -viewer
	      Runs  the	 Java  Application  Cache Viewer (default if no URL is
	      specified).

       -userConfig property-name
	      Clears the specified deployment property.

       -userConfig property-name property-value
	      Sets the specified deployment property to the specified value.
