Bug Description
When I launch my Java Sound MIDI application using JNLP, the default (Java Sound Gervill) synthesizer can't be opened. It hangs trying to open it, without success.
When I launch the same application using a "java -jar AMK.jar" command, I can use it with no problem.
Here is my JNLP file used to launch it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<jnlp codebase=
<information>
<homepage href=""/>
<icon href="file:
<icon href="file:
<offline-allowed/>
</information>
<security>
<all-permissions/>
</security>
<resources>
<j2se java-vm-
<jar eager="true" href="AMK.jar" main="true"/>
</resources>
<applicatio
</jnlp>
By the way, it has a JavaNativeInterface (JNI) library the code loads itself, which works fine when launched via JNLP. It just can't use the Gervill (default) synthesizer. It can use other synthesizers, and MIDI interfaces - just not the default synthesizer.

Solved (maybe).
The problem appears to have gone away. I can now use the Java Sound (Gervill) synthesizer when I launch my application using a '.jnlp' file on my machine.
I was noticing it worked when launched from the Internet, so I decided to try it where the jnlp file is in a local file, and it worked this time.
My best explanation is that I had somehow managed to get the Gervill synthesizer into a bad state when I was trying to use it.
The other explanation, is that I am now using Open Java 7 (where I was using Open Java 6 before).
As far as I am concerned, nothing more needs to be done on investigation this problem, unless it somehow re-appears.
