Where can I find a menu or launchers for Javaws apps that I have installed?

I am using OpenJDK x86.

Just use javaws as you normally would.

javaws /path/to/your.jnlp

If you want to open in nautilus:

right click on your file -> Open with other application... -> Use custom command -> enter "/usr/bin/javaws"

if you are using sunjava, select Applications on your Desktop (upper left). Choose internet from menu. Select Sunjava Webstart. Your installed applications should popup.

It's right, but I was wondering how could I do that with OpenJDK. – Marcos Roriz Jan 4 '11 at 13:13

Yep, the finally implemented the option -viewer which enables us to see the cached/installed Java Web Start applications.

They changed this, now this is embedded in the JDK Control Panel which can be launched in unity or in cli using itweb-settings. Go to the cache sidemenu and click on view files. enter image description here

You know if this is still valid? I run "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/bin/javaws -viewer" but it open a windows to see installed certificates not applications. – PhoneixS Nov 12 '12 at 15:56
Yep, you're right. I updated the post with other workaround that I found. – Marcos Roriz Nov 16 '12 at 14:29
