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 net-
     work, cached, and (by default) run in a secure sandbox environment.  Subse-
     quent  runs of the applet download the latest version automatically. Update
     and security settings, among others, can be set using the itw-settings com-
     mand.
     icedtea-web   also   includes   a	 plugin   to   enable	 Java	 applets
     (http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp) within web browsers.
