Abstract
A mechanism is provided for executing an interpreted programming language application from a server at a designated virtual machine on a client computer. A manifest file is extracted which indicates at least one resource for the interpreted programming language application as well as the repository file that provides the at least one resource. The repository file is located in a web start cache and copied to a run directory accessible by the designated virtual machine, outside the web start cache. After terminating the web start application, a particular virtual machine is designated from a plurality of virtual machines based upon the run directory to which the bootstrap class copied the resource repository file thereby forming the designated virtual machine. The interpreted programming language application is then executed from the run directory using the at least one resource.
