+.SH NAME
+javaws - a Java Web Start client
+.SH SYNOPSYS
+.B javaws
+[-run-options] jnlp-file
+.br
+.B javaws
+[-control-option]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B javaws
+is an implementation of a JNLP  client. It uses a JNLP (Java Network
+Launch Protocol) file to securely run a remote Java application or
+a Java applet.  This implementation of
+.B javaws
+is from the IcedTea project and is based on the NetX project.
+.PP
+A JNLP file is an xml file that describes how to securely run a
+remote Java application or a Java applet.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+When specifying options, the name of the jnlp file must be the last
+argument to
+.B javaws
+- all the options must preceede it.
+.PP
+The jnlp-file can either be a url or a local path.
+.PP
+.B Control Options
+.PP
+By default
+.B javaws
+will launch the jnlp file specified on the command line. The control
+options can be used to change this behaviour.
+.TP 12
+\-about
+Shows a sample application that can be used to test the basic functionality
+of this implementation.
+.TP
+\-viewer
+Shows the trusted certificate viewer. This allows a user to list, examine, remove
+or export trusted certificates. Note that this only reflects the certificates
+trusted by
+.B javaws
+and not any other certificates or programs.
+
+.PP
+.B Run Options
+.PP
+In the default mode, the following run-options can be used:
+.TP 12
+\-basedir dir
+Directory where the cache and certificates to be used are stored.
+.TP
+\-arg arg
+Adds an application argument before launching.
+.TP
+\-param name=value
+Adds an applet parameter before launching.
+.TP
+\-property name=value
+Sets a system property before launching.
+.TP
+\-update seconds
+Update check if seconds since last checked.
+.TP
+\-license
+Display the GPL license and exit.
+.TP
+\-verbose
+Enable verbose output. Very useful in debugging.
+.TP
+\-nosecurity
+Disables the secure runtime environment.
+.TP
+\-noupdate
+Disables checking for updates.
+.TP
+\-headless
+Disables download window, other UIs.
+.TP
+\-strict
+Enables strict checking of JNLP file format. Any deviations from
+the JNLP DTD will cause
+.B javaws
+to abort.
+.TP
+\-umask=value
+Sets the umask for files created by an application.
+.TP
+\-Xnofork
+Do not create another JVM, even if the JNLP file asks for running in
+a separate JVM. This is useful for debugging.
+.TP
+\-Jjava-option
+This passes along java-option to the java binary that is running
+javaws. For example, to make javaws run with a max heap size
+of 80m, use -J-Xmx80m.
+.TP
+\-help
+Print a help message and exit.
+
+.SH FILES
+~/.netxrc specifies the location of the base directory
+
+.SH BUGS
+There arent any known bugs. If you come across one, please file it at
+    http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/
+.br
+Please run javaws in verbose mode and include that output along
+with the jnlp file when filing out the bug report.
