How do I associate *.jnlp files to Java Webstart (javaws) on GNOME?

[Andre Costa]

Hi,

I use Chrome on F13, and everytime I try to open a JNLP file it opens it
with gedit. First I thought it was a Chrome bug (there's even a bug report
for that: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=10877), but
then I realized that if I try to open a .jnlp on nautilus it also opens it
with gedit, even if I click on "Open With... > Other Application... javaws"
and check the "Remember this application for 'jnlp file' files".

I tried to use xdg-mime install as suggested by comment #32 but it didn't
work (see comment #34).

Firefox opens JNLP files just fine, but I guess it has its own table of file
associations.

So, my guess is that if I can teach GNOME to open JNLP files with javaws my
problem will be solved. Any tips?

Regards,

Andre
