Trust me.  We wouldn't be going through all the extra work to package our
app natively if we got good reliable service out of web start.  As I said,
we've been using it for ten years.

What happens if you want to install the software on a machine that's not
connected to the internet?  These are serious issues we have to deal with
for some of our major customers (the computers are attached to CNC machines
that cost close to $100K and they don't want to run the risk of catching a
virus).  With a native installer it's just a matter of throwing the files
on a USB key, running a virus scanner, and off you go.

Sony uses Java Web Start for PoxNora. I have used Java Web Start both for my hobby projects and at work since almost seven years. It is possible to run it locally but you have to detect proxies because localhost can be used only without proxy. Java Web Start must be configured correctly when a firewall is used if it doesn't automatically detect its parameters. If Java Web Start isn't reliable enough for you, why not trying JavaFX native packaging (and future versions will include built-in support for autoupdate)?

I hope Sven's suggestion will work fine in your case.
