remember: until 2.0 we are on the edge anyways.
after 2.0 is out, we are stable - 1st stable release
and able to provide a stable URL for those resources.
so we will do webstart-2.0 (I will notify you when it's done) ..
sure a user can do their own stuff, but we also should stand behind
what we provide as well.
