Launching of jnlp files are supported by the javaws tool from the icedtea-web project and can be used in combination with icedtea built openjdk.

apt-get install icedtea-netx
javaws http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-current/jogl-application-version.jnlp

It would be nice if the jnlp file suffix/mimetype gets associated with the icedtea-netx provided javaws tool.
It should then be possible to launch .jnlp files from within the web-browser and nautilus.

You can use javaws to start your the .jnlp files below:
