Description
If a dragged-out applet references to a JNLP file with "main=false" associated with the jar file entry such as the following:

<jar href="AppDeployDemo.jar" main="false"/>

we shouldn't try to load the main class from the listed jar file because it results in "main class not found" execption.

EVALUATION If main=false is specified in the JNLP file, we shouldnt try to load the main class from the specified jar file but returning the main class name to the Launcher which will try to load the class using its classloader.
