      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      It would be a great feature for the JWS to retrieve authentication from the browser'sauthentication cache. A setting in the "Java Web Start Application Manager" could allow selection of a default browser and whether to retrieve authentication cache.

      Related to SUN Cases: 4656979 and 4518282.

      JUSTIFICATION :
      This would make JWS more flexible.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Allow JWS to skip a double authentication when using basic authentication.
      ACTUAL -
      See above.
