My java web start application only starts when verbose is set
<p>I have a java web start application, that I try to start via </p>

<pre><code>javaws.exe https://localhost:8888/myApplication/myApplication.jnlp
</code></pre>

<p>nothing happens (no error message; I see no process starting in the task list).</p>

<p>If I start it via </p>

<pre><code>javaws.exe -verbose https://localhost:8888/myApplication/myApplication.jnlp
</code></pre>

<p>the application starts.</p>

<p>I can also start the application when using </p>

<pre><code>javaws.exe -viewer https://localhost:8888/myApplication/myApplication.jnlp
</code></pre>

<p>and then starting the application from the <em>java cache viewer</em>.</p>

<p>What is the difference, that might trigger the application to run, when in verbose mode or via the viewer? Here is my jnlp file:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="https://localhost:8888/myApplication" href="myApplication.jnlp"&gt;

        ....
    &lt;/information&gt;

        &lt;!-- some jars are referenced --&gt;

    &lt;/resources&gt;

        &lt;argument&gt;-initLogging&lt;/argument&gt;
        &lt;argument&gt;SETPROPERTYjavax.net.ssl.trustStore&lt;/argument&gt;
        &lt;argument&gt;_UNDEFINED_&lt;/argument&gt;
        &lt;argument&gt;SETPROPERTYjavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType&lt;/argument&gt;
        &lt;argument&gt;_UNDEFINED_&lt;/argument&gt;
        &lt;argument&gt;SETPROPERTYjavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword&lt;/argument&gt;
        &lt;argument&gt;_UNDEFINED_&lt;/argument&gt;
        &lt;argument&gt;-locale&lt;/argument&gt;
        &lt;argument&gt;_UNDEFINED_&lt;/argument&gt;
        &lt;argument&gt;-serviceHost&lt;/argument&gt;
        &lt;argument&gt;_UNDEFINED_&lt;/argument&gt;

        &lt;argument&gt;-trustStrategy&lt;/argument&gt;
        &lt;argument&gt;_UNDEFINED_&lt;/argument&gt;
    &lt;/application-desc&gt;
&lt;/jnlp&gt;
