The cache location could change with each release of the vm and could be different depending on who makes the vm. And so far the cache location has changed with each release. Relying on the cache location is a mistake. Assuming your app is signed, to get a jar out of the cache just use a HttpConnection to the path specified in the jnlp and copy it anywhere you like.
