--- Comment #7 from Thor Lancelot Simon <tls at panix.com> ---
Well, the SuperMicro (actually ATEN) remote console stuff requires native
methods.  At that point you might as well just run their standalone utility
("IPMIview" or some such) which launches the same java classes without JNLP.

But I can't really get behind the idea of a JNLP launcher allowing unsigned
native methods to run, at least without a very, very dire warning.

What is frustrating about the IBM/Avocent stuff, at least the version I picked
apart a few weeks ago, is that it is pure Java -- no native methods -- and only
metadata is unsigned; all the code is actually signed properly.  Not being able
to run this with IcedTea-Web -- even if I had to click through some warnings as
with the Oracle launcher -- seems wrong.
