      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.5.0"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode, sharing)

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      On Windows XP, when a Java Web Start application's JNLP file contains <association> elements, Java Web Start creates menu items in Windows's right-click context menus for files of the specified types.

      The text on these context menus is "open the file" and "print the file", just like that, all lowercase. Every program I've ever used on Windows uses the word "Open" for the menu item that opens the file, and "Print" for the item that prints the file. Java Web Start's use of lowercase letters and the words "the file" break this convention.

      These menu items should be changed to read simply "Open" and "Print"


      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.
