Unfortunately OpenJNLP has not had any proxy logic added to it. That 
being said, there might be a way to get it to work:

Since OpenJNLP uses the built-in HTTP protocol handler, this should be 
the right approach. There could be issues with the environment variables 
not being picked up, so I'd recommend try setting the proxy values as 
java properties.

You should be able to modify the openjnlp.sh script and add these 
properties by changing the PROPS line:

PROPS="-DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=firewall -DproxyPort=8080"


I have no proxy to test against, but that should actually set the Java 
System properties for proxying every time OpenJNLP starts up.

Note: Unfortunately that won't change the behavior of the launcher, so 
once an app is launched by OpenJNLP I'm afraid the proxy settings will 
not be set for the app.
