I have a simple data verification command line utility that I wrote in Java. We distribute this utility to our customers as a JAR file. Our customers run this utility based on data on their local machines.
Since we often update this validation tool, it would be nice to be able to distribute it using Java Web Start / JNLP so that they automatically receive code updates.
From what I can compile, Java web launch is most often used for Swing / UI based applications. Can it be used for console command line applications? Or, if there is another way to solve this problem, let me know.
