I'm happy to announce that within the next few months as part of OpenJDK, we are Sun are committed to open sourcing our Java Web Start implementation and the new plug-in implementation for NPAPI capable browsers; those browsers including Firefox 3, amongst others. Woo! Great news! This is indeed really great! It has been a few months now. Is there already a roadmap for how and when the code will enter the repositories? Will it go into jdk6 first, or will it go through jdk7. Will it be part of the M4 milestone that has all the other 6u10 backported features? Thanks, Mark

Hello Mark.

Since that posting, circumstances have changed and unfortunately there is no specific time line to share for the webstart and new plug-in code being available under open source.
