Help in - Java Web Start Setup.

Hello Friends

I got a project which is developed with JSDK1.4.2 and is using MySQL as its database.

Till today, if we want to install this application into a computer we are manually copying the JAR Files and also Database files into the required directories.

Now I got a task to create a Setup equal to Java Web Start. My SE said that I have to create a setup which works like or with Java Web Start.

The idea that he gave is the following.

The source code should be in the server and when ever a user opens java web start it should copy the latest version of the program into the client and run the program to open the application.

As Java web start is installed with JSDK and If I open this I can see some applications which I can open and a desktop icon is being created for every application that I open.

I don't know whether I can include my application too to the Java Web Start or what to do to get the same facility for my project!!!!!

What are the tasks that I should do to realize this and where can I get some literature which is explaining the steps in creating such an automatic Java Web Start setup??????????????????? (These question marks are to say that am a beginning programmer and have so many question marks on this task.)

it could be a great help for me to start my programming life.

Thanks a lot in advance.

I am waiting for your reply.
