Overall, it looks fine. But I do have a few suggestions on how it can be 
improved:

- Please update the patch so it builds with current HEAD. All that is 
required is changing the imports from
import net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.DeploymentConfiguration;
to
import net.sourceforge.jnlp.config.DeploymentConfiguration;

- Please make the cache viewer window resizable. It's quite hard to see 
the full path and the full domain without changing the window size.

- The size column doesn't specify the units of the size (is that bytes?)

- I would like to be able to sort by columns.

- Some javadoc comments seem to diverge from the code style guidelines 
[1] without good reason. Please fix that.

- Is there a reason you use Vectors rather than ArrayLists? Vectors 
synchronize all of their operations, which is going to be slower.

- Can you split out methods that traverse the cache from this cache 
viewer? It might be more appropriate to create a new class in 
net.sourceforge.jnlp.cache for this.

Thanks,
Omair
