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.
Thks for the info. You checked the "remember this application ..." checkbox as well when you made the association, right?
I am at work right now, so I won't be able to test this for a couple of hours. Just for the record, There's already a 'javaws' command on my "Open with..." list for JNLP files, and I already tried permanently associating files to it, to no avail. I'll try to remove this javaws definition and recreate it as you did, to see if anything changes.
BTW: here at work we're using Ubuntu 10.04 (which also uses GNOME 2.30). I just tried launching the CelsiusConverter.jnlp from nautilus (file browser) and Firefox opened as the preferred application (!?) -- but it correctly handled the JNLP file, opening it through javaws (but, of course, I don't want to have Firefox as intermediary ;-)). I then tried to do what you described:
- right-clicked the JNLP file and opened the "Open With > Other Application" dialog
- added a custom 'javaws' command (with absolute path)
- marked the "remember this application ..." checkbox
When I clicked the "Open" button on the file association dialog, javaws was launched. But, double-clicking on the JNLP file launched Firefox again :-( (indeed, the first option on the right-click popup menu still is "Open with Firefox web browser")
?! :-(
