NAME
       icedtea-web provides a Free Software web	browser	plugin running applets
       written	in the Java programming	language and an	implementation of Java
       Web Start, originally based on the NetX project.

       NetX allows Java	applets	and applications to  be	 downloaded  over  the
       network,	 cached, and (by default) run in a secure sandbox environment.
       Subsequent runs of the applet download  the  latest  version  automati-
       cally. Update and security settings, among others, can be set using the
       itw-settings command.
       icedtea-web   also   includes   a   plugin   to	 enable	 Java  applets
       (http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp) within web browsers.
