Hi Everyone,
I am using JNLP to start a swing application. My application has some supporting resource files [mdb (MS Access Database), few XMLs and properties]. While launching, the shortcut and these supporting files falls in my desktop. I want these supporting files to be downloaded in some other location.
How can I achieve this? Any Suggestions?

That is extraordinary! Not the shortcut, but
the DB and XML's and properties should not
end up on the desktop. I cannot understand
how that would happen.

Usually resources that are on the application's
classpath are stored in the plug-in cache,
which never defaults to the desktop. You can find
the current path by checking the Java Control
Panel.

See my second (and first) replies to this thread
for the solution to this challenge.
