Description
when launching "javaws -system <jnlp>", Java Web Start must seperately launch any installers found in the jnlp file.
For this launch Java Web Start fails to launch the secondary process with the "-system" arg.
As a result, the LocalApplicationProperties file is not updated in the appropriate cache, and the application reports that the installation failed (even if it succeeded).
Comments
EVALUATION The testcase, now at: http://web-east.east/www/tests/1.6.0/6420226 shows that, because of the new cache implementation, the problem does not exist in mustang. It does still occur in tiger, and I will open a sub-CR for addressing it there.

EVALUATION just need to propagate the "-system" to the secondary launch(s)
