Unable to run two applications simultaniously in Java 6 and Java 8 using jnlp

We have two applications launched using Java Web Start (jnlp file) and each application supporting different java version. One application supports Java/JRE 1.6 (supports java 1.5 but not Java 1.7 or 1.8) and the other supports Java/JRE 1.8 (only).
When we try to launch both the applications on the same desktop using direct JNLP links e.g. <serveraddress>/deploymentfolder/abc.jnlp, looks like the JavaWS cache gets corrupt and the applications are not working as expected.
We tried several methods of launching the applications listed below. In all cases, we configure two different .bat files to launch each application using complete java path e.g.
C:\java\jre1.6\javaws http://serveraddress/deploymentfolder/app1.jnlp
and
C:\java\jre1.8\javaws http://serveraddress2/deploymentfolder/app2.jnlp
Methods
Install JRE 1.6 using Java installer, use a copy-only (no need to install) copy of Java 1.8.
Install JRE 1.8 and used a copy-only copy of JRE 1.6
Install both versions
Use copy-only version of both versions
Along with first four methods, we tried to configure different JavaWS cache folder for different version by specifying it in deployment.properties file.
We could not get both the application running successfully in any try. In application logs, we see exceptions suggesting the cache is corrupt (pasted below).
Can anyone please suggest any ideas on how we can get these two applications running?

Creating an executable .jar using Intellij

I've got an app which is using few external jars like mail-1.4 and etc. And now I want to execute my app out of IDE (IntelliJ). Also I was following instruction File>Project Structure>Artifacts and so on, but my command prompt says:

My MANIFEST is almost empty:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: ru.tenet.smsc.SMSC
What is wrong?

One of the jars you extracted to the target jar was signed. The easiest way to fix it is to select "copy to the output directory and link via manifest" in the "Create JAR from Modules" dialog

Java- Can't apply Java Look and Feel

I'm using Synthetica Look and Feel in my application and it works fine on Eclipse. But when i export the Jar file and execute it i got these errors :

I don't know where is the problem exactly. Here is the way I'm applying the Synthetica Blue Steel Look And Feel :
try
{
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new SyntheticaBlueSteelLookAndFeel());
UIManager.put("Synthetica.rootPane.titlePane.title.center", true);
UIManager.put("Synthetica.translucency4DisabledIcons.enabled", true);
}
catch (Exception e) {}

Please see the error it can't find the sun/swing/plaf/synth/SynthUI
Library. In development mode You are include that jar file in eclipse library but when you are create a jar file then you are not include the Synthui theme jar. Put that Synthui jar file in jar, ext/ folder and it work fine

I think the way you are exporting the jar file is not correct.
Try exporting the jar as a Runnable jar file.
Follow these steps to export your app as a runnable jar.
1) select export from the file menu.
2) select Java->Runnable JAR file
3) Select the launch configuration i.e your main class.
4) first two option of library handling if you want to package the substance library file in your own jar and the third option(copy required library into a sub folder next to the generated jar) if you want to separate the generated jar file and substance libs.
5)Press finish.
I hope this would solve your problem. :)

This is my First time using webstart. I tested it out with simple applications and it worked just fine. I think it might have something to do with the fact that the application tries to read a local file when its launched.
Cannot post more than 2 links but you can check it out here:
fenixflame.net/DropLogger/launch.html

Yes problem was the space on the .jar file. I changed it and it worked just fine.
Its not possible to change the .jar file name inside netBeans, you can only change the project name but that doesnt change the file name. The only way to do change the .jar name is going to the project .xml file or creating a new project with the name you want for your jar file and copying all ur packages there.

Applet throwing exception when running it through web browser

I have written an applet program. It has some references to classes from java tools.jar in it (eg:- import com.sun.jdi.connect.IllegalConnectorArgumentsException)
When I run this applet through appletviewer utility it works fine. But when I embed this applet in HTML file and try to run it through web browser, I am getting exception about some classes not found at runtime:-

Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/jdi/connect/IllegalConnectorArgumentsException
However the IllegalConnectorArgumentsException class is part of java runtime located inside tools.jar.
How I can get run it inside browser as well?
many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pras

You are running your applet from the JRE. The class IllegalConnectorArgumentsException can only be access from the JDK since it's related to debugging.
Refer to this question.
