Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Re: VisAd and Java WebStart (JNLP)

We use WebStart to distribute our GriddedDataViewer (GDV)
which is based on VisAD.  You can access it at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/metapps/webstart/GDV

Since the VisAD examples do not have a package, I'm not sure
you could do it through webstart.  Also, there is the security issue
if the jar is not signed.  If the jar was signed, you could use
a JNLP file like:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/donm/webstart/visad.jnlp

to launch the SpreadSheet.

Note, I'm no expert at this, so maybe there is a way around
the security exception.
