Description
Webstart client fails to download all the resources mentioned in JNLP file after making a custom JRE install. The jnlp file needs to be run again to download the remaining resources which were not earlier downloaded.  All subsequent runs work properly.

The customer did not observe this problem with 5.0 u11 and 6 u7.

Currently their application needs 6u16 to launch but needs 6u18 to run properly.  The accomplish this by having the client run thier application with 6u16 which triggers their custom installer to download and install 6u18.

The customer needs to use a custom installer because they need to maintain versions of Java which are issolated from overall system access.  This requirement is necessary for the release of their application.

Please see the *.rar file attached for the test case and steps to recreate this problem.
