      Currently, developing applications using the JNLP API is a little cumbersom.
      The developers will include the jnlp.jar in the classpath to get their programs
      to compile, but they cannot test them since no implementation of the JNLP
      API exists. The only way it to JAR up their appliaction and run Javaws.

      Alternativly, we could provide a jnlp-dev-impl.jar that contains a full
      implementation of the JNLP API that can be used to test appliactions from
      the command-line, e.g,. such as:

            java -classpath .:jnlp-dev-impl.jar MyApp

      The implementation of most of the services are trivial to implmenet as stand-
      alone services.

      Combining this with a Forte JNLP generation tool, and we should have a really
      nice development support.
