FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.7.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
>systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional
OS Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Signed Java Web Start app of the <applet-desc> type and specifying <all-permissions> security fails to launch with a ClassNotFoundException on the main class when the Java configuration network settings specify the use of an automatic proxy configuration script (either directly or inherited from the browser). If the Java network settings are modified to specify a proxy server explicitly, or use a direct connection, the same app launches as expected.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u45

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
java version "1.7.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode, sharing)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Applet jar with manifest entry
Permissions: all-permissions
signed.

Launch (over HTTP/HTTPS) using Web Start directly from JNLP.

JNLP includes
<security><all-permissions/></security>
and an <applet-desc> element.

In Java control panel, general tab, network settings, select "Use automatic proxy configuration script" and specify the (HTTP/HTTPS) URL of a proxy script. I don't believe it matters what's in the script as long as it's appropriately valid for your network.

Launch the applet via the JNLP; to avoid complications, use javaws directly,
javaws http://.../...jnlp

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The applet launches
ACTUAL -
Application Error dialog
General Exception
Name: HelloWorld
ClassNotFoundException: HelloWorld

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Don't specify a proxy configuration script.

Run as applet (Java plug-in) rather than via Web Start
