What is Java Web Start?
Java Web Start is a framework for running web applications written in Java programming language. It also allows running apps directly in the browser. Java Web Start automatically checks for updates on the web, downloads appropriate update files, and installs the update.
Associations of Java Web Start with the file extensions
Java Web Start opens the files:
The primary purpose of our website is to provide the user with a list of software programs that support a particular file extension, as well as that help to convert them to another format. Java Web Start supports 6 different file extensions, that's why it was found in our database. The following tables provide information about the association of Java Web Start with file extensions. If the Java Web Start program can be used to convert the file format to another one, such information will also be provided.
What can I use this information for?
This information is especially useful when looking for a way to open a specific file. If you already have Java Web Start installed on your computer, you can check which file extensions it supports and look for the data you need in this specific format (or to what format you should convert the data so that you can open them in the Java Web Start).
I do not have a Java Web Start yet. Where should I get it?
By far the most safe way is to download Java Web Start directly from the developers's website. If you are going to download the Java Web Start from a website that offers a database of downloadable software, you have to reckon with the fact that when you install it on your computer, you will also install the unwanted extras. Please, pay special attention to this.
I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
