Found my own answer.

It is a browser setting not a WebStart setting. Safari and Firebox both default to placing all downloaded files onto the desktop. Changing this is preferences resolved my problem.

I should have known that one ;-)

There is still a problem, at least in my opinion. Safari or Web Start (not sure which is to blame) doesn't treat the JNLP file as a temporary thing that should be deleted after Web Start is launched or simply stored in the browser's cache so it can be cleaned up via the normal cache-cleaning means.


Since Web Start caches these files in it's own internal cache, and the application can be accessed through the Web Start application launcher, I think that the initial download of the JNLP should be treated as temporary. If you really want to save the JNLP file you should have to select "download linked file" from the context menu of the link.
