JDK-6723525 - DnD "Desktop Integration Warning" doesn't occur until browser window is closed/changed
Description
Currently, a short will only be created if an JNLP-Applet is dragged out of the browser and the browser is closed. However, it would be convenient for developers to create a "Create shortcut on my desktop" or "Save shortcut on my desktop" button and create a shortcut on user's desktop. This can provide a more interactive user experience.

EVALUATION We can not add new applet API in jdk 6. A applet parameter "eager_install" is added in 6u12 to create shortcut at time an applet is dragged out. see CR 6723525. There was also UE discussion to improve DnD usability.
