> 2) Bring up your Java Control Panel.  For me, based on the version of
> Java WS I'm running on Squeeze, it's: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26/
> bin/javaws (found by right clicking on the sloppy.jnlp file, choosing
> "Open With" -> "Other Application", highlight Sun Java Web Start &
> expand the "custom command" panel so you can see the path)

> 3) Close the Cache Viewer if open.

> 4) Go to the "Advanced" tab.

> 5) Open "Command to launch default browser"

> 6) Change to the appropriate command ... for me it is /usr/bin/firefox
> NOTE: It is finicky.  I find it works best if you use the "browse"
> instead of typing in the command.  Also, hit apply before you press
> ok.  Java fail.  Re-open it to verify the setting.
