I have a specialized Java application that is growing.

I do need to specify JVM heap size, but that seems to be permitted in
Webstart.

Do you mean like..
<j2se version="1.4.2+" initial-heap-size="64m" max-heap-size="512m" /> ?
(As mentioned in that third link I included)

..In addition, each run reads one XML file and writes another,
so I would need some way of specifying them.

That is the part I would use as 'half an excuse' to throw
a file chooser, or the JNLP equivalent (if you do not want
to sign the jar's and request full access). You can see
examples of using the JNLP file service on that link form
earlier.

..I also often use Java
logging so that I can check progress while a job is running.

Ummm.. not sure of any tricky caveats with that, but
for the file access itself, see the earlier paragraph.
