Description
install tiger-beta3, 1.4.2_0x, 1.3.0_0x and 1.3.1_0x into your computer

launch a jnlp application with j2se tag equals <j2se version="1.3*"/>
(make sure no href is specified)

javawebstart will use 1.3.0_0x to launch it; which is not correct.  it should use 1.3.1_0x instead since that's the latest JRE that satisfy the requirement.

EVALUATION not a tiger showstopper, easy workaround avaliable, fix in mustang ###@###.### 2004-07-15 we should fix this in 1.5.0_01 - using the latest JRE on the system that matches the j2se tag in the jnlp file is one of the most basic and important feature of java web start. Also a few customers had complained about this problem. (e.g. catepillar.com) ###@###.### 2004-08-12
