title: Can JNLP/Java Web Start launch a command line application
body: <p>I have a simple JNLP file that launches a Hello World command line application. When I download the JNLP file from Tomcat (7), Java Web Start starts up and then goes away without launching the command prompt and printing the output from the application. Is this because it cannot be used to launch the command prompt window ? I turned on logging and saw no exceptions, but at the end of the trace log I saw the output.</p>
  
  <p>Using Windows 7, tested in Chrome and FireFox</p>
