[java] I am not able launch JNLP applications using "Java Web Start"?

If javacpl does not open and gives you Could not find the main class:, it could be that Java is confused because of changes in deployment.properties (can be found in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Win7). Delete that file and everything's fine.

This bug seems to be 6 years old, cf. An app should be able to ignore properties that have become obsolete over time, shouldn't it?
