While experimenting with Java 8 Update 60 early access release, I found that our normally working JNLP file shows warning and exception in Java console.
This seems to be an incorrect warning because I believe the XML of the JNLP is well formed. Downloaded Java 8 Update 60 from https://jdk8.java.net/download.html JNLP Tested at http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_validator.asp Pasting JNLP and clicking Validate gives Message from webpage, No errors found.
