[Bug 119175] Re: jnlp support in Firefox

[finalbeta]

VERSION:


finalbeta at finalbeta-desktop:~$ java -version
java version "1.4.2"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu5)

Example of a Java Web Start Application:


http://users.telenet.be/greenhouse/foldersync/releases/0.1/foldersync.jnlp
------------------------
Updating alternatives:
sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
This command does not work, there is no javaws

One can configure sudo update-alternatives --config java
But this doesn't change anything for the browser. 

The problem is that the browser doesn't know what to do with the file. Open it with "browse program", or save to disk. (See attached image).
What Firefox should do it simply start Java and let Java ask the user what should happen.

PS: a jnlp file is just an xml file that should be passed to
/usr/bin/javaws
