Java Webstart

Launching Java webstart apps on linux OS

In my tests today, these will fail to launch as per the original specs that once existed and per my past experiences with Webstart Deployed apps. Instead what is happening is that the file is being downloaded instead of being launched.

Provided you already have a JDK installed, the trick is this....

  • Just download the JNLP (Java Network Launch Protocol) file to somewhere
  • Then locate the file and right click it then choose.... Open With
    • locate javaws. Find this in the bin folder of your JDK (java development kit)
  • Whoalla!

Kotlin (Programming language)
