· Can be configured to use an already existing Java Web Start Cache.
· JNLP-File can be supplied as URL- or local file
· Can use Internet Explorer cookies for session based applications
· Additional classes can be injected into the class path of the application
· Can replace the start class, described in the jnlp-file with any other class having a main() method.
· Allows to mix signed and unsigned classes or archives in the class path
