Problem:

Java Web Start supports JNLP for describing applications and applets, while Java Plug-in supports <applet> to describe applets. This is confusing the developers. Also, JNLP supports extensive extension installation, native library installation, jardiff and other deployment technologies that JPI doesn't provide.

Solution:

Build JNLP support into JPI by providing a JNLP applet which supports JNLP and hooks up with the rest of the JPI machinaries.
