==== Why does my JNLP application not launch directly since macOS Sequoia 15.0?

The recent macOS 15.0 gatekeeper update prevents users to open a .jnlp file directly. When double click or right-click and "Open" resp. "Open with" always ends up in the following error:

In this situation you have to go to `System Settings > Privacy&Security`, scroll to the very bottom and select "Open Anyway" to let OpenWebStart launch your .jnlp application:

When you press "Open Anyway", you will see the following dialog. Here you have to select "Open Anyway" again:

After that you will see the authentication dialog, where you have to enter your user credentials. Finally, your application will launch successfully.

Therfore it is highly recommended that you enable shortcut handling in OpenWebStart Settings:

This creates you a desktop shortcut as well as an entry in the Launchpad. This allows you to launch your application the next time directly without any gatekeeper roundtrip.
