Scenario:

My company is maintaining an applet that is used by many machines through Java Web Start.
Java Web Start is triggered by an JNLP file that contains all the informations and parameters to start the applet.
The only thing I have access to is the JNLP file to start the applet. The applet itself and all the JARs it uses are on a remote server.

Question:

The company asked me to develope a launcher to execute this applet without using Java Web Start or any kind of browser.
Since I only have the JNLP file available, is it possible to build such a launcher? And if it is possible, does someone know what should I do? I have been searching everywhere far a solutions but I couldn’t find one.
