033/** A wrapper class that calls eventually calls
034 ptolemy.vergil.VergilApplication for use with Java Network Launching
035 Protocol (JNLP) aka Web Start.
036
037 <p>This class is very similar to other classes that invoke
038 Vergil applications under Web Start because each application
039 needs to have its own jar file.
040
041 <p>In Web Start 1.0.1, it is necessary to sign the application
042 if it is to have access to the local disk etc.  The way that this is
043 handled is that the .jnlp file that defines the application
044 is copied to the .jar file that defines the main() method for
045 the application and the .jar file is signed.  Unfortunately, this means
046 that two Web Start applications cannot share one jar file, so
047 we create these wrapper classes that call the appropriate main class.
048 <p>For more information about JNLP, see $PTII/mk/jnlp.in.
