    Description

      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.6.0"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing)

      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Web start report an error "Unable to launch the application" with this exception:
      com.sun.deploy.net.FailedDownloadException: Unable to load resource ...

      This happens only because I install windows xp with the default user name (administrator) in arabic. In this case Java creates a folder in "Documents and Settings" to put the cache and other staff with a name different than the user name which is the non-Unicode representation of the real name in arabic where it should put it under the correct folder.



      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      install windows xp with one arabic user name administrator and try to launch any java web start


      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.
