Author: Accendia

Features include:
- comprised of a server where Swing applications are deployed and a client stub that loads the application classes and resources on demand;
- the application code is downloaded from the server and runs on the client computer;

- the application runs in a secure environment similar to Java Applets and unsigned applications in WebStart. A secure API is provided for developing applications that read and write local files and print documents under strict user control.
