Is it possible to turn OFF Java Web Start?

Is it possible to turn off Java Web Start? I'm trying to test if my browser can detect if javaws is on a machine.

  • I'm trying to test if my browser can detect if javaws is on a machine.

    JWS is installed if Java 1.4.2+ is installed. It was with that version that it became co-bundled with the JRE. Between 1.2 (when it was introduced) and 1.4.2, it was available as a separate download.

    To check that 1.4.2(+) is installed, use deployJava.js.
