Hello, As HamsterOfDeath has pointed out, this is not an easy question… Specially since it depends so heavily on what you know about FTP, servers, etc.



  If you already have a server somewhere and it allows SFTP protocol, then (assuming you are a Windows User) you can download the non-commercial ssh client from ssh.com, then you can connect to your server and more or less painlessly upload your JAR files to the html public directory (typically html_public or something like that).



  After that, you can use Darkfrog’s webstart creator http://www.jmonkeyengine.com/jmeforum/index.php?topic=3586.0 To create your JNLP file and also upload it to your server… after it, it is just debugging, trial and error, and a lot of headaches…  :wink: But in the end, it should work.

If you really don't know how to compile your program, you are far, far away from publishing webstart applications with native libraries and all that. Start with the jME basics on the wiki, you will find there how to set up a build environment (IDE) to compile your program.

If I just misunderstood you and you already know how to compile your program, follow these steps:

  • Create a jar (java archive) containing your project's classes and possibly resources. If you don't know how to do that, read http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/

  • Sign the jar or it won't be able to run with sufficient rights on the user's machine. See http://java.sun.com/developer/Books/javaprogramming/JAR/sign/signing.html for that.

  • Find darkfrog's webstart creator tool on this forum, and let it create a jnlp file for you. If you want to know what's going on, read http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/jnlp/

  • upload the jnlp file, along with all jars and native libraries it references, to your webserver - how to do that depends much on your server, ask the server admin for help.
