This always happens. I wait one day and go from 2 links to 10+. Lots of interesting stuff today.

QuickJNLP 0.5 has been released
QuickJNLP is a utility allows regular Java applications to be deployed with Web Start. It packs all the necessary files for the application into a Jar file and generates a corresponding JNLP file. The original java application does not need to modified in any way for use with Web Start.

The purpose of QuickJNLP is to make regular Java applications work with Web Start without the need for any changes to the application code. This means that applications that were not written with Web Start in mind can deployed using Web Start technology. QuickJNLP creates an executable Jar archive which includes all the files from the application directory specified by the user, along with a JNLP file. Once the Jar archive is signed by the user, it may be deployed on the website, with the JNLP file. When the Jar archive is executed it will automatically unpack the files and invoke the correct command to start the application. QuickJNLP can also be used to prepare native applications for deployment using Web Start. Java applications that require a console for input and output will still have access to one when deployed via Web Start. The program features an easy to use graphic user interface as well as a command line option.

Checkboxes in a JTree
It sounds so simple. However, as Morden comments it is not. An interesting look into the mind of a developer ... I love this quote

It took me a long time to find the solution to this, I tried screen co-ordinate translation (note don't ever try to get this working with tree cells!).
