Application name in dock is "java" for JNLP apps
Launching a Java application via Java Web Start causes the name of the application in the dock to appear as "java" even though it gets the correct icon and the Application Menu has the correct name.
This problem has been fixed.
Application created by Java Web Start shows a generic "java" icon
When creating a "desktop application" for a Java Web Start app, it gets the generic icon instead of the correct application icon.
Java Web Start now creates a hidden application first and then un-hides it after creation. This problem has been fixed.
JNLP files occasionally opened by wrong application
Under certain circumstances the file association between JNLP files and Java Cache Viewer.app was being reset to Java Web Start.app. This is an older version of Java Web Start that can't run Web Start applications in Java 1.5.0. As a result, the wrong version of Java runs the application.
/Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/Java Cache Viewer.app will be removed during this update of Java. During installation, Java Web Start.app will be updated to 1.5.0_13, and will handle all JNLP files for all versions of Java.
Java Web Start Applications cannot start from folders containing non-ASCII characters.
JNLP files downloaded to or placed in a folder containing non-ASCII characters would generate a java.io.FileNotFoundException error when opened.
This problem has been fixed.
Java Web Start crashes when creating a desktop application
Java Web Start crashed when attempting to create a desktop application for a JNLP file that had an empty "description" element of an "information" node.
This problem has been fixed.
