The most widely distributed Java browser technology utilizing Java Web Start and JNLP technology in the world.

ICEsoft Technologies is the leading provider of Java browser technology, enabling developers to utilize Java Web Start for enterprise application deployment and management. Java Web Start is Sun's reference implementation of JNLP, Java Network Launch Protocol.

ICEsoft products have always utilized industry-leading technology ICEbrowser and ICEreader can easily be launched and managed using Java Web Start and the underlying Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP), to make it easier and more efficient to deploy cross-platform, client-side systems.

Size and Modularity:
At a static code-base size of 500KB - 1.5MB (depending on configuration), the ICEsoft products are easily embeddable within a larger application or on a resource constrained embedded device. The highly modular nature of the ICEsoft products empower client side application developers to readily integrate required components and omit none of the necessary libraries within a standalone implantation or with a larger client side application. Clear API's, combined with a pure Java code base ensures that integration within larger "thick-client" applications is straightforward. Java browser technology plus Java Web Start make application deployment and revision control easier than ever.

Platform Portability:
The ICEsoft products are developed using Java-based architecture and Java browser technology which significantly reduces development costs related to porting, releasing, and supporting an application across heterogeneous environments. The most powerful differentiator lies in their ability to deliver on the promise of a universal or "omni-client" deployment. Because of their small sizes and their foundation on Java technology, developers can now realize the benefits associated with consolidated application development between desktop and/or device. For the first time, the same application code developed for customized access of Web applications on the desktop can be deployed in mobile enterprise environments such as PDA's, tablets, and cell phones.

Manageability and Revision Control:
When combined with Java Web Start and the underlying JNLP (Java Network Launching Protocol), ICEsoft products can easily be managed from a centralized server and distributed to end users on an as-needed basis, providing them with the latest revisions of the java browser at any given time. JNLP is an open standard that simplifies the distribution of Java applications and updates across the Internet. For a demonstration of this capability launch the ICEbrowser Demo.

Client Control:
The ICEsoft suite of products provide the maximum degree of client control to the Web application developer. By delivering robust support for standard Web-based protocols and scripting languages developers are provided with a solid platform from which to build their client solution. Developers can include or exclude client features at their discretion. Elimination of items such as navigation buttons, address lines, etc. becomes a simple matter. The desired Web application client is simpler to implement and much less exposed to unexpected page navigation events from the user. Java browser technology combined with Java Web Start provides complete application efficiency.

Branding & GUI Consistency:
ICEsoft's products empower developers with total control over the look-and-feel of the final Web enabled application. GUI toolkit libraries such as JFC/Swing, AWT are pre-integrated and fully supported. Custom GUI toolkits can also be integrated by the developer. The ICEsoft products include numerous sample GUIs or Reference Implementations (RIs) that may be used as a head-start by application developers. Combined with Java Web Start, the Java browser application GUI can be easily modified and updated at runtime presenting the latest application capabilities to the end user.
