Huh? That was not intended.
But I don't have the slightest idea how one could judge my remark above
as "excessive" or how it could make you sound like "conspiracy nut".
OTOH, English is not my native language (as you may have guessed). So,
if my use of the English language might be considered offending by a
native speaker, I apologize.
Nevertheless: whether or not there's a connection between Web Start and
the Java plugin is irrelevant wrt to the OP's problem IMO. That's what I
tried to say above.

It did? I have obviously missed that.
