Have you tried clearing you cache and removing the applications from web start? I recentlly changed the demos over to use the standard extension.

Web start can sometimes be annoying and not download an updated JNLP file.

Will.

That did it, thanks.

I’m very tempted to file a bug against Java Web Start - it is really annoying and kinda defeats the whole reason for using Java Web Start to begin with.

Lets hope it’s fixed in Tiger.

Will.
