A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
the dtd found at:
http://java.sun.com/dtd/JNLP-1.5.dtd
and
http://java.sun.com/dtd/JNLP-6.0.dtd

have at least one error.
The comma between "desktop?" and "menu?" is missing
"<!ELEMENT shortcut (desktop? menu?)>"
the correct(?) version is:
"<!ELEMENT shortcut (desktop?, menu?)>"

AND the PUBLICID is missing 1.5 and 6.0!

an older version was : "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc//DTD JNLP Discriptor 1.1//EN", but the current ones are missing.

  Bug 4404764 is marked as closed, but the correct location of the dtd's are missing.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
just create a *.jnlp and try to validate it against the dtd's

This bug can be reproduced always.
