I went to export a Java project, hoping to find an option for exporting to Java web start, but couldn't find anything. The only document I saw relating to it was http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/java_web_start.htm.

The idea is to implement the code required to allow exporting of Java web start projects from Eclipse.

I envision a dialog where you can put in details such as title, vendor, homepage, description, icon, as well as being able to easily sign the webstart application, and the JRE versions to use on each platform.

As you can see, this would be immensely useful for people who create webstart applications. If the backend is also available, then you could also write ant scripts which use this backend to create the webstart files.
