It used to be that `butane had a nice cgi script that would allow
one to construct such a URL to launch Java Web Start.  Alas, apparently
the website had somewhat of a crash:
http://jircii.hick.org/

I considered, on one point, hosting that script, but opted instead
for the JNLP it created:
http://openjdk.java.net/irc/openjdk.jnlp

Of course there are many, many other IRC clients to choose from.

Recall that the standard is set by the Java Community Process, which
includes many other voices than just Sun.
