http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=741

           Summary: Fails to create a shortcut if the resource is local
           Product: IcedTea-Web
           Version: hg
          Platform: all
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: NetX
        AssignedTo: omajid at redhat.com
        ReportedBy: smohammad at redhat.com
                CC: unassigned at icedtea.classpath.org


Exception thrown:

----------------------------
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
file:/home/smohammad/Desktop/Test/Sample.jnlp is not a cacheable resource
        at
net.sourceforge.jnlp.cache.CacheUtil.getCacheFile(CacheUtil.java:297)

        at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Launcher$TgThread.run(Launcher.java:886)

----------------------------
Fails to create a shortcut if the resource is local but the applet still runs
after the exception is thrown.

I have attached a reproducer. After downloading and extracting it, edit
Sample.jpnl and change: (within jnlp element)
 codebase="file:///home/smohammad/Desktop/Test/"
to
 codebase="file://[PATH TO THE EXTRACTED DIRECTORY]/Test/"

After that has been changed, just run "javaws Sample.jnlp" within terminal and
you should see the exception.
