<p>
There are 2 possible ways to use the plugin:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Using the <code>abbot:test</code> goal. You would call this goal
from inside your application project. This project needs to
define all your application required dependencies in its
<code>project.xml</code>.
</li>
<li>
Using the <code>abbot:test-webstart</code> goal. You would call
this goal if you wish to test a WebStart application that is
already installed on some server. In this mode your project does
not require to define any dependency.
</li>
</ul>

<section name="Limitations">
<p>
The following limitations are known for the
<code>abbot:test-webstart</code> goal:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
You need to provide a key to sign your webstart jars. This is
required as we're packaging local filesystem jars
into the application's JNLP and we need to have the permissions
to do so (granted if the jar are signed).
