--- Comment #1 from Omair Majid <omajid at redhat.com> ---
Please be aware that your file is in fact incorrect. "The JNLP file is an XML
document" [1]. An XML document must encode entities, including '&', correctly.
What you have is a JNLP file that violates the specification. The easiest way
to fix the problem is fix the file.

If you rely on behaviour that is specific to the implemenation (and
specifically violates the standard), it's not really sensible to expect that to
work elsewhere.

Anyway, this bug should be fixed in IcedTea-Web 1.5. We have switched to an
html-like parser that should accept malfromed JNLP files. Can you please test
it with that?
