not an epiphany bug. epiphany is using the freedesktop database, applications declare they handle a MimeType from their .desktop, GNOME launchs the preferred applications corresponding to the type
/usr/share/applications/sun-java6-javaws.desktop has "MimeType=application/x-java-jnlp-file;" so it's used on the file which is from that type, and the .desktop uses "Exec=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/bin/javaws -viewer" so the GNOME apps run "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00/bin/javaws -viewer URI" ** Changed in: epiphany (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected -- Java6 Web Start just opens the Java control panel instead of running the application https://launchpad.net/bugs/84501 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
