'''Java Web Start''' is a framework developed by [[Sun Microsystems]] which allows [[application software]] for the [[Java Platform]] to be started directly from the Internet using a [[web browser]]. Unlike [[Java applet]]s, Web Start applications do not run inside the browser, and the [[sandbox (computer security)|sandbox]] in which they run does not have to be as restricted, although this can be configured. One chief advantage of Web Start over applets is that they overcome many compatibility problems with browsers' Java [[plugin]]s and different [[Java virtual machine|JVM]] versions. On the other hand, Web Start programs cannot communicate with the browser as easily as applets. To assist migration, a Java Applet can also be used as a Java Web Start application.
