'''Drag-to-Install.''' From the point of view of the end user “Drag-to-Install” allows them to drag a JavaFX widget or application residing in a website within the browser window and drop it onto their desktop. The application will not lose its state or context even after the browser is closed. Application can also be re-launched by clicking on a shortcut that gets automatically created on the user's desktop.

This behavior is enabled out-of-the-box by the Java applet mechanism and is leveraged by JavaFX from the underlayingunderlying Java layer.

Sun touts “Drag-to-Install” as opening up of a new distribution model and allowing developers to “break away from the browser”.
