Title:
  Openjdk + icedtea6 plugin fails to load parameters from jnlp files

Status in OpenJDK:
  Fix Released
Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I was testing applets in the tutorials, this one doesn't work:
  http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/applet/param.html (scroll down for applet)

  When launching firefox from console, an error is reported:
  java.lang.NumberFormatException: null
  	at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:443)
  	at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:514)
  	at AppletTakesParams.init(AppletTakesParams.java:39)
  	at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:436)
  	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:636)

  This is caused by the parameter "paramInt" being unavailable. This parameter is defined in a jnlp file, reference in the HTML as such:
  <applet code="AppletTakesParams.class" archive="examples/dist/applet_AppletWithParameters/applet_AppletWithParameters.jar" height="50" width="800"><param name="jnlp_href" value="examples/dist/applet_AppletWithParameters/applettakesparams.jnlp">....</applet>

  The page works with sun's jre in ubuntu and windows under firefox.
