Updated to reflect proper package - JWS is part of JDK, not JRE

In my opinion, the shortcut works as it should.... from the menu, javaws control panel should be started. What is launched when double-clicking on a file is configurable through your DE/WM of choice.

I think its strange that webstart is not part of the jre... its the user who wants to run webstart applications; not the developer.

And: If you use openjdk instead of jdk you can open webstart applications with a click... I'm just expecting the jdk to behave in the same way.

As stated in my previous ticket, how things are opened is configurable on a DE/WM level. The .desktop file simply controls what is shown in the menu. If you want jnlp files to open with another program than what they are defaulting to (although i'm not sure why they're choosing that as default), you can change the actual association yourself.
