That would be great. From what I understand, the correct way would be for me to have a jaxb.jnlp that list the necessary jars, homepage, icon, etc... Then, I would use the extension href to refer to that jnlp within my own.
As a side note of this, perhaps what would be best is if the distribution came not only with signed jars, but with the jaxb.jnlp file -- so that JNLP developers just include it, and it would always contain the correct information...
