Currently the way javawebstart to create shortcut on GNOME desktop is by manually parsing serveral gnome desktop/vfolder xml files, and adding shortcut tags to it for shortcut creation. The code (VFolderEditor.java) is complex and not easy to maintain. We should investigate and see if new versions of GNOME provide any native APIs for shortcut creation, so we can make use of it and simplify our implementation. Even if no such APIs is available for now, we should see if it is possible to refactor the code so it is cleaner and easier to maintain.
