I tend to work with javaws applications. I also have to set different proxies for them (for each javaws application). Up until today, I was using one application at a time, and manually changing proxies in java Control Panel.
My proxy properties are stored in ~/.javaws/deployment/deployment.properties file.
I was wondering if it would be possible to start a javaws application which is using an other ~/.java directory, because this way I could run multiple javaws applications with different proxy settings at the same time.
You could try changing your
HOMEenvironment variable (in the specific javaws startup script) to point to different folder, probably one being a sub directory of your regular/home/$USER
