Description
I just tried out the webstart version of jext at http://www.jext.org/ with 6.0:

On second launch the app succeeded. But after launching it takes lots of time (about a 1/2 minute) for the splash screen of the app to come up. No CPU activity meanwhile. What could that be?

Here's the version output:

java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing)

Comments
EVALUATION Problem is we are making network connections every time the application calls URLConnection.getContentEncoding on http://www.jext.org/apps/lib/jext-5.0.jar. This is probably a bug in Java Web Start. In JNLPCachedJarURLConnection, we didn't override getHeaderField. We should override getHeaderField and return the cached headers if possible. This should speed things up.
