I'm trying to use NetX to replace Sun Java Web Start. Since NetX currently does not support versions, and I want to avoid full download every time the application is started, I named my jars with the version as a suffix and invoke the Netx using -noupdate option.
The problem with this is that the jnlp (xml) is not updated either, making impossible to deploy updated versions of the jars.
It would be good to have an option which avoids usage of the cached version of the jnlp (xml), but that still allows the usage of cached resources. This way it would be possible to update only required jars. I mean it would be an alternative until adding version support.

I was digging into the code and it seems a very simple feature to add.

Thanks,
Diego
