Sun has included more Java Web Start user interface improvements in the latest build of Java Mustang. The initial splash screen is much more user friendly as are the download and security screens.

New User Experience in Java Web Start
As I mentioned in my earlier blog, we have decided to revamp the user experience in Java Web Start in Mustang, and the scary security dialog was the first to go. Here is more exciting news! I am very glad to announce that Andy Herrick and Margarita Fisher have completed the initial implementation of the new user experience for Java Web Start, and it is available in the promoted Mustang snapshot (build 39). The default splash screen has been updated, and it looks pretty nice! Also, Java Web Start will no longer generate a splash screen for your application automatically if the application does not provide a custom splash, because the generated splash never looks great from users' prespective.
