You don't. It's just a jnlp-file in addition to the (already existing)
jar-file. So a download-link in the wiki for direct download can simply
co-exist.

On the development machine you have only to generate a signing-key-cache
once, then you can add the signing into the ant-file, and the jar gets
automatically signed on building.

I've still the problem, that starting my own josm.jar via a jnlp file
results in these Null-Pointer-Exceptions, because the image-files in the
jar are not found, but i am on it...
