I have some hardware that I have to connect from time to time that is pretty old, for which the JNLP file specifies <j2se version="1.5+" />.

Unfortunately this JNLP does not work with anything newer than java 1.8.

I would have absolutely LOVED to be able to fetch a specific J2SE version to run this JNLP with, but unfortunately this is not possible.

So my only possible way to do this, was to open up the JNLP, wait for it to download the "latest" JVM (21), then get an error.

After I got the error, I opened up OpenWebStart manually, I went to JVM Manager and I disabled the last installed one. This went on and on until I finally forced OpenWebStart to download 1.8.0:

Would have saved me a lot of trouble if I could manually specify which JVM to execute the JNLP file with.
