[icedtea-web] RFC: launch application that have a non-public main class

[Omair Majid]

Hi,

The attached patch bypasses checks imposed by the reflection API to 
ensure that netx is allowed to access the class it is trying to access. 
Generally, this makes complete sense. However, there are some 
applications (such as the Present/Future Value Calculator [1]) that 
declare their main method in a non public class. Netx currently fails 
with an IllegalAccessException when it encounters this.

ChangeLog
2010-10-26  Omair Majid  <omajid at redhat.com>

     * netx/net/sourceforge/jnlp/Launcher.java
     (launchApplication): Mark main method as accessible before invoking
     it.

Thanks,
Omair
