Show the JNLP java webstart console programatically

Question

In the control panel under Java, there is an Advanced option to Show console... With this enabled, an additional window launches when my app launches. The window is titled Java Console - MyApp Name.

Is there a way to launch this console window programmatically? Rather than require the user to enable this feature, I would like to make the window available on request from the application.

Is the console a feature of Java WebStart? I do not see an API call for the console in the webstart API. If I look elsewhere, I just see many references to the System console object which has nothing to do with the console window.

Answer 1

No, there is no such default 'application console' attached to JWS apps.
