JMS unsupported encoding

Problem:
During runtime of a java application, an unsupported encoding for JMS message might appear during JMS operations.

Solution:
A quick fix would be to use the SDK as the runtime JVM instead.

Clicking on jnlp does not open java app

Problem:
By default, Microsoft's IIS mime extensions do not recognize .jnlp files. So clicking on jnlp links on a web page hosted by IIS will simply open a xml document, as best.

Solution:
In the container of the website hosting the .jnlp files, add a mime type/extension as follows.
extension: .jnlp
content type (mime): application/x-java-jnlp-file

Swing

This ain't really a dumb mistake or anything like that, but it kept me in the office till pretty late in the night today so i will give it credit by posting it here.

There will come a time when you need to do some fancy stuff like changing ur cursor's icon while you are hovering a Swing component. What i tried today was to change my cursor while hovering across a JLabel. What was supposed to be a one liner turned out to be irritating. Somehow the JLabel's setCursor() method won't work, in the end i had to resort to creating some MouseListeners over the Jlabel and set cursor for the frame instead. Its quite untidy but i guess its a temporary patch.
