Apps :: Java and JNLP

I am using the CD version of DSL and am unable to execute JNLP files. It should just be using Java. I have installed the jre for firefox package. What am I missing?

I was having this problem a couple days ago, too, though on a PCLinux system. You might give this a try..Look around for an executable on your system called javaws. When you get prompted to open the .jnlp file with something, pick the javaws file, and click okay.

The javaws is the actual java web start binary that is supposed to run the .jnlp files, so it should work. If you don't have that installed with your JRE/JVM/JDK/whatever, you'll need to go download it from Sun.
