Title: IcedTea-Web goes offline and beyond

Abstract:
  Future of java applets and javaws is dark. Chrome have already cut down NPAPI. Most of the banks 
moved from java to javascript for they internet banking. The javaws will suffer a lot by introducing 
jigsaw modules. What is remaining? The "physical applets" of course! Seriously - the "killing" 
feature of applets is that they do not work offline. But similarly to javaws - they can! IcedTea-Web 
is now removing this boundaries, and what more, it will also allow you to detach applet out from 
browser - by jnlp shortcut, or by lunching html page by javaws directly.
  Apart of this, ITW is now  JDK independent and you can run those features on any OpenJDK, even on 
Oracle or IBM JDKs.
  And except serving you web application comfortably online, ITW allows you to lock this application 
- even "signed ones"  in sandbox.
  And of course there is Jogamp project - the awt-less  plugin - How I wish to see it merged upstream!-)
*** Long story short, more security and much much more freedom ***

OpenJDK for Fedora, developing ITW and trying to contribute to any open source stumbled over.
