Working As Intended

$ javaws /path/to/file.jnlp

That works fine from a terminal window, but it was bugging me, because I was sure that there must be a way to launch these apps from the dock. And sure enough, it’s dead simple.

1. Launch /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app
2. Select the Network tab.
3. Click the View Cache Files button.
4. Right-click on the app and select Install Shortcuts.

This lets you save an app file, which you can then drag onto the dock.
