I was able to generate a very rough Windows desktop shortcut manually based on some StackOverflow suggestions. I haven’t figured out how to programmatically convert png to ico with only core Windows tools, and I haven’t tried to expand this to parse the information from the .desktop file:

In my testing here, it basically works; it reliably launches our customers’ existing JNLPs, giving them a path forward. But now that we’ve established that it basically works, our customer testers are focused on fine-grained deployment details, and they care a lot about those desktop icons.

I’ve been doing Windows & Mac testing with a build that Laurent Bourgès kindly provided <http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2018-September/040118.html> to me. Since I have no ability to edit and build IcedTea-Web, I had to take a different approach; I put together the attached Mac-specific dropin replacement for the xdg-desktop-icon script, which works reasonably well in my testing here; it parses the .desktop file and generates a minimal macOS AppBundle corresponding to the JNLP parameters. I hope someone will find it useful, or even use it as the basis for integrating macOS desktop integration directly into IcedTea-Web.
