Using Netbeans 7.3 and latest Java 1.7.0_17. In Properties -> Build -> Deployment I have these settings ticked:
check for application updates in background
allow to run with no internet connection
install permanently
add desktop shortcut
add start menu shortcut
and additionally the jars are signed:
request unrestricted access (enable signing)
This creates a jnlp file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

There's another thread
2361562 which I've tried the suggestions, but I cannot get a permanent install with a shortcut on either Windows or Linux. The app is launched OK, it just does not persist. Using jcontrol on Linux, I can choose an option to create a desktop shotcut, and it does create a shortcut, but as soon as you launch the app, the shortcut is deleted.
Can anyone help ?
