The DF Studio Java Web Start downloader requires Java to be enabled. When a download request is initiated in DF Studio, a .jnlp file will be downloaded first, which must be opened with Java in order for file downloads to begin. Below are some potential issues which may be encountered while attempting to enable or open the .jnlp file with Java.
