There is an example using Java Web Start on the ImageJ web site at:
http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/applets.htmlUnfortunately, it does not include any plugins.

JWS downloads the code to your local computer and executes it from there, so
it isn't that different from a local installation.
The problem is that as you suggest, the plugins would need to be bundled
into another JAR served through Web Start, which ImageJ would need to know
should be checked for plugins, and I do not know how to configure ImageJ
that way. Fiji might, but I do not know.
Anybody else on the list have more experience with JWS and plugins?
