Java Web Start
I'm trying to figure out if I've got Java Web Start installed or not. I downloaded and installed jdk1.5.0, and eveything seemed to be okay but I'm not sure about Web Start. To check it out I went to this page:
http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/demos.html
but when I click on one of the programs to launch, using Internet Explorer 6.0, for example the swingset application, I get this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

When I try the same thing with Netscape 7.0 I get directed to a page that says I need to install Java Web Start (unless it's already installed and then just restart the browser).
I had no indication of any errors when I installed jdk1.5.0, so I'm not sure what to do now about Java Web Start. It was supposed to be installed automatically with the jdk install.
