I don't think the dll's have to be in a jar file but I can't find the
spec that details how it works.
We use the jdic library (https://jdic.dev.java.net) for launching
browsers and it has some dll dependencies that we don't have in jar
files and are not specifically referenced in our jnlp file. This XML
specifies the windows deployment spec but you can have other resources
for other client side deployments. It has well known subdirectories
like x86 and linux that include exe/dll and .so files that are
downloaded to the client cache.
<resources os="Windows">
<jar href="lib/jdic/windows/jdic_stub.jar"/>
<nativelib href="lib/jdic/windows/jdic-native.jar"/>
</resources>
A great blog entry on how to put a jnlp together

Are you using Java WebStart? With WebStart you can bring down DLLs (they
must be jarred) along with any dependency jars needed by the
applet/application (webstart can launch either).

Subject: [cinjug-users] Register DLL via a signed java applet.
Is this possible.
My initial searches haven't turned up much - but I don't have very strong
google powers.
If this is possible, is there any generic source code that anyone has
squirreled away?
Thanks in advance,
James
Background: I'm now under the belief that the project that I'm working on
requires a pre-installation of the entire toolkit before the java applets
provided are actually able to be used. If I was able to deploy over the net
all of the prereqs then I'd be sitting a lot prettier in my boss' eyes.
