Hi,

Looking at the plugin docs[1], <title> and <vendor> are required 
elements of <information>, without them the plugin should stop with a 
fatal error. Currently, icedtea-web just returns null from their 
respective getters and handles null accordingly. However it should not 
even reach that far. Here's a simple patch that throws a ParseException 
when not found.

ChangeLog
+2012-01-06  Danesh Dadachanji <ddadacha at redhat.com>
+
+	Applications using JNLP files without a title or vendor section
+	still run, despite them being required elements.
+	* netx/net/sourceforge/jnlp/Parser.java:
+	(getInformationDesc): If title or vendor are not found in info,
+	a new ParseException is thrown.
+	* netx/net/sourceforge/jnlp/resources/Messages.properties: Add
+	PNoTitleElement and PNoVendorElement
+

Any comments? Is this okay for HEAD?

Regards,
Danesh
