Sun never broke apps with changes to Java, but Oracle did one, and did
it quietly without telling anyone by putting in some sort of error
message to warn you what was happening.

They have stopped supporting the properties feature of JNLP files.
They quietly ignore them.

They will pay attention to them only if you sign your jar file.

This is somewhat awkward for me since I generate JNLP files
dynamically.

It wants you have a real certificate. A self-signed one does not
appear to work.
 
I guess the trick is to duplicate the properties is a *.properties
file and embed them in a resource in the jar.
