I was having problems running java iDRAC (remote access for Dell Servers)
modules. I solved my jnlp file issue by:
* renamed the ".java" settings folder in my "/home/username" profile
(equivalent of deleting)
* uninstalling all installed java components (I had lots of alternative stuff
installed) to remove confusion
* installed the version of java that I believed would be right for the job
(v6.x)
* then located the "javaws" binary with "locate javaws" in a konsole - mine was
here:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.14/bin/javaws
* started Firefox. went to Edit > Preferences
went to "Applications" tab/section
scrolled to "Java Web Start" content type
in the "action" column; choose "use other"
locate the "javaws" file you found earlier
[close] the preferences
* Bob is now your uncle too (well he was for me) :)
