jCheckers web start

I had some trouble to get jCheckers running on my own office PC... so I thought I better try something easier and played around with Java web start and produced the following test page - now that is much cooler!

Hi Martin,

I only had a few minutes to use it. Looks good. No problems in operations. Played two games vs. Boozer5982 at 5 seconds per move. One win and one draw.
I did not have much time to evaluate. Will do so later.

PDN below.

Hello,

I've tried jCheckers on my PC and Mac. It worked fine on PC of course, but on my Mac it would not load.
