      Bug Description:

      The problem is in his jnlp file in the line:\

         <package name="dsi.ext.document.*,dsi.ext.storage.*,dsi.ext.search.*" part="document" recursive = "true"/>

      this says litterally that the part "document" contains the package:
        
         "dsi.ext.document.*,dsi.ext.storage.*,dsi.ext.search.*"

      which is clearly not a legal package name, and it is also clear that the
      part actually contains the three packages

         "dsi.ext.document.*", "dsi.ext.storage.*", and "dsi.ext.search.*"

      so it looks like if you replace the above line with:

      <package name="dsi.ext.document.*" part="document" recursive = "true"/>
      <package name="dsi.ext.storage.*" part="document" recursive = "true"/>
      <package name="dsi.ext.search.*" part="document" recursive = "true"/>

      it would work.

      The comma seperated package name is not a syntax defined in the jnlp
      specification. The old 1.5.0 version didn't mind since it tended to over
      eagerly download everything whenever accessing a non-existing class. it was
      still interpreting "dsi.ext.document.*,dsi.ext.storage.*,dsi.ext.search.*"
      as one package name.

      The new code now will never download the jars listed in part "document" until
      the classloader tries to load a classs in one of the packages specified for
      that part. This is why it didn't download in this case, since the only
      package known to be in that part was the long string with all three package
      names seperated by commas.
