We use WebStart to distribute our GriddedDataViewer (GDV)
which is based on VisAD. You can access it at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/metapps/webstart/GDV
Since the VisAD examples do not have a package, I'm not sure
you could do it through webstart. Also, there is the security issue
if the jar is not signed. If the jar was signed, you could use
a JNLP file like:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/donm/webstart/visad.jnlp
to launch the SpreadSheet.
Note, I'm no expert at this, so maybe there is a way around
the security exception.
