Hi Yunxiang,
Hmmm, have you tried getting a fresh download from www.java.com?
There is a button on that page that downloads just what is needed for
a user, rather than the entire developement package.
JNLP is Java Network Launch Protocol. .jnlp files are used by java
webstart. Java webstart causes java to be launched from web pages in
the same way as programs like Windows Media Player get launched. In
other words, webstart lets java run as what I think of as a satellite
application rather than a plug-in or embedded applet. Webstart gets
installed from the "Get It Now" button at www.java.com
