I like the idea, so I wrote the attached josm.jnlp file, added mime type 
to my local apache
     AddType application/x-java-jnlp-file .jnlp
clicked on the file in my web browser. It got recognized as an Java 
application, tried to launch, but failed at MainApplication.java, line 
64, some issue with permissions (stacktrace below*). It seems that code 
needs to be modified to require less permisions (not using local files, 
becoming less useful).

Otherwise, adding
<security>
    <all-permissions/>
</security>
it complained that jar needs to be signed for that.

Hope it helps.

greets,
     Stefan
