If I run this JNLP file with an English 1.5.0 version of JWS, it works Ok. It even works with a German version of 1.4.2, but not with a German version of 1.5.0. The "offline-allowed" tag seems to be ignored.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run this JNLP file with a German version of JavaWebStart

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The "Launch Offline" (de: "Offline starten") button in the "Java Application Cache Viewer" (de: "Cache Anzeigeprogramm für Java-Anwendungen") should be enabled.
ACTUAL -
In the German JavaWebStart, "Offline" is disabled. In the English, it is enabled.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
I have to integrate an "offline-allowed" tag in the "information locale="de"" element.
