Just use javaws as you normally would.

javaws /path/to/your.jnlp

If you want to open in nautilus:

right click on your file -> Open with other application... -> Use custom command -> /usr/bin/javaws

~~Yep, the finally implemented the option -viewer which enables us to see the cached/installed Java Web Start applications.~~

They changed this, now this is embedded in the JDK Control Panel which can be launched in unity or in cli using itweb-settings. Go to the cache sidemenu and click on view files. enter image description here

You know if this is still valid? I run "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/bin/javaws -viewer" but it open a windows to see installed certificates not applications. – PhoneixS Nov 12 '12 at 15:56
Yep, you're right. I updated the post with other workaround that I found. – Marcos Roriz Junior Nov 16 '12 at 14:29

if you are using sunjava, select Applications on your Desktop (upper left). Choose internet from menu. Select Sunjava Webstart. Your installed applications should popup.

It's right, but I was wondering how could I do that with OpenJDK. – Marcos Roriz Junior Jan 04 '11 at 13:13

Unfortunately, sudo apt-get install icedtea-net will not work with Oracle JRE 13 or newer. See https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/IcedTea-Web/issues/437 bug fixed in 2.0, icedtea is 1.8 in even the newest Ubuntu releases.

I went to this website (https://www.labsrc.com/running-cisco-asdm-under-linux/) and followed the instructions listed below.

Go to https://java.com/en/download/

Click on the Linux x64 download link and save it to your Downloads folder.

mkdir ~/java
tar -xvf ~/Download/jre-8u301-linux-x64.tar.gz -C ~/java
~/java/jre1.8.0_301/bin/javaws https://192.168.1.1/admin/public/asdm.jnlp
