JNLP can't create shortcut on Mac os x

Question

Hallo
Im trying to deploy my application via java web start. The app itself works on windows, ubuntu and mac os x. The shortcuts are created on windows and ubuntu but not on mac os x. I did set the settings to always allow shortcut creation.
Here is my JNLP file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp version="0.0.1" codebase="http://www.testprogram.com/test/" href="testprogram.jnlp">
<information>
<title>Test Program</title>
<vendor>Test</vendor>
<homepage href="http://www.testprogram.com"/>
<description>Test Program</description>
     <icon href="icon.png"/>
     <shortcut online="true">
          <desktop/>
     </shortcut>
</information>
<update check="always" policy="always"/>
<security>
<all-permissions/>
</security>
<application-desc main-class="com.sun.javafx.runtime.main.Main">
<argument>MainJavaFXScript=testprogram.Main_run</argument>
</application-desc>
<resources>
<j2se version="1.6+"/>
<extension name="JavaFX Runtime" href="http://dl.javafx.com/1.2/javafx-rt.jnlp"/>
<jar href="testprogram.jar" main="true"/>
<jar href="lib/AbsoluteLayout.jar"/>
<jar href="lib/javacsv.jar"/>
<jar href="lib/jcalendar-1.3.3.jar"/>
<jar href="lib/swing-layout-1.0.3.jar"/>
</resources>
</jnlp>
Can someone please assist me on why mac os arent creating the shortcuts?

..After this everything worked 100%Note that there were errors in the original JNLP shown, that are probably still there. If a JNLP file is invalid it is anybody's guess as to how it will be parsed by a JWS client. To validate JNLP files as well as perform many other checks on the resources, point JaNeLA *(<- link)* at the main JNLP file.
I am not saying that validation of the JNLP file will make shortcuts work on Mac. Do the Macs. run Java 1.6.0_18+? If so, shortcuts can be installed using methods that return success/failure, through the IntegrationService *(<- link).*
