--- Comment #4 from Robert Marcano <robert at marcanoonline.com> ---
I think probably a good behaviour for javaws is to not offer to create desktop
launchers for JNLP files that don't include a way to get the source path, or
copy it a .local/.cache directory.

The problem with caching it is that every time the user uses the web link to
start the application it will think it is a new one. Unless the files cached
are hashed and tested if there is already one downloaded, but a single change
on the source JNLP will make javaws think it is a new one.
