Public bug reported:

It seems the 6b18-1.8.1-0ubuntu1 version broke javaws for our internal
application because of some changed handling of filenames (or security?)

We use "[" and "]" in our filenames and this seems to have made the new
version throw exceptions like this:

net.sourceforge.jnlp.LaunchException: Fatal: Launch Error: Could not launch JNLP file.
	at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Launcher.launchApplication(Launcher.java:462)

Changing the name of the files to a filename without "[" and "]" or downgrading to 1.8 solves the problem but it would be nice if this could be fixed in a future version.
