Ok, so I downloaded the jnlp file to the desktop.  
I am using sun's java:
java version "1.6.0_19"
installed under /usr/jdk

I right clicked on the CelsiusConverter.jnlp file.  
In the dialog box, I selected the "Open with" tab.  
I clicked the Add button.  
Select "Use a custom command" and entered /usr/jdk/bin/javaws.  
Closed all dialog windows. 
Double clicked on the CelsiusConverter.jnlp icon on the desktop.  
Javaws lauched the app and I converted temperatures.
