        Java Web Start 6 Update 18 is used to launch a Java Web Start application,
        that requires to be run on JRE 1.4.2:

            <j2se version="1.4" java-vm-args="-client"/>

        An automatic proxy file (proxy.pac) is not interpreted correctly, when the
        application is started via jnlp file:

              javaws.exe app.jnlp
        or
              javaws.exe /path/to/app.jnlp

        When using Java Web Start 6 with an URL however, the correct proxy
        is picked and everything works as expected.

             javaws.exe http://server:port/app.jnlp
        or
             javaws.exe file:\/\/c:\/app.jnlp
