When I follow a link to a Java WebStart .jnlp file it opens as an XML file and not useing WebStart (javaws). It is not obvious to me how to make the association.

I'm currently working with Ubuntu 10.10 but it may be a more general problem.

OK, fixed. In Firefox: Edit -> Preferences -> Applications

on the left, JNLP. on the right, change from "Firefox" to /usr/bin/javaws

This really ought to be the default....
