I have tried icedtea-web but have been unable to change permissions when jnlp loads so I can save things to disk when I download things off the applet.
Also icedtea-web is old and is based on jdk8. OpenWebStart is much newer and is based on jdk 21.0.5, however, it is not in nixpkgs. However, it has a linux version for debian.
Will it be possible for someone to repackage it into Nixpkgs?
I tried to do it myself locally but grok and I got stuck.
