[icedtea-web] RFC: exit with error code on failures

[Omair Majid]

Hi,

The attached patch makes netx (and plugin) exit with an error code other 
than 0 on an error. netx already exits with appropriate error code in 
some cases (for example, if the input JNLP file is malformed), but not 
if running the downloaded program fails.

Before this patch:

$ javaws jnlp.jnlp
net.sourceforge.jnlp.LaunchException: Fatal: Launch Error: Could not 
launch JNLP file.
(... more output ...)
$ echo $?
0

After this patch:

$ javaws jnlp.jnlp
net.sourceforge.jnlp.LaunchException: Fatal: Launch Error: Could not 
launch JNLP file.
(... more output ...)
$ echo $?
1

Any thoughts or comments?

Cheers,
Omair
