Just use javaws as you normally would.

javaws /path/to/your.jnlp

If you want to open in nautilus:

right click on your file -> Open with other application... -> Use custom command -> /usr/bin/javaws

Yep, the finally implemented the option -viewer which enables us to see the cached/installed Java Web Start applications.

They changed this, now this is embedded in the JDK Control Panel which can be launched in unity or in cli using itweb-settings. Go to the cache sidemenu and click on view files.

if you are using sunjava, select Applications on your Desktop (upper left). Choose internet from menu. Select Sunjava Webstart. Your installed applications should popup.

Unfortunately, sudo apt-get install icedtea-net will not work with Oracle JRE 13 or newer. See bug fixed in 2.0, icedtea is 1.8 in even the newest Ubuntu releases.

I went to this website () and followed the instructions listed below.

Go to

Click on the Linux x64 download link and save it to your Downloads folder.

mkdir ~/java
tar -xvf ~/Download/jre-8u301-linux-x64.tar.gz -C ~/java
~/java/jre1.8.0_301/bin/javaws
