I can use Java web start to start my Swing GUI application on the command line by the url with jdk 6 & Windows XP:
javaws http://localhost:7001/webstart/myapp/launch.jnlp

How to use Java web start to start my Swing GUI application on the command line by the file name?
The following ways do not work:
javaws -codebase "" -J-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket launch.jnlp
javaws -J-Xdebug -J-Xnoagent -J-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=n,suspend=y launch.jnlp
javaws -codebase "" -J-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=n,suspend=n launch.jnlp
javaws -codebase "" -J-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n launch.jnlp
javaws -codebase "" launch.jnlp
javaws -codebase '' launch.jnlp

The launch.jnlp file is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<information> 
    <title>${com.prod.my.myapp.common.client.title}</title> 
    <vendor>I</vendor> 
    <homepage href="http://devzone/english/dev%20template/html_templates/main.asp"/> 
    <description>${com.prod.my.myapp.common.client.description}</description> 
    <description kind="short">${com.prod.my.myapp.common.client.short_description}</description> 
    <icon href="$$context/images/chflag.jpg"/> 
  </information>

<jar href="myprod.myapp.client.jar"/> 
    <jar href="myprod.reports.jar"/>

<jar href="extern.ejb-client.jar"/>

<property name="java.naming.factory.initial" value="weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory"/> 
    <property name="java.naming.provider.url" value="${com.prod.my.myapp.common.client.naming_provider}"/> 
    <property name="weblogic.jndi.enableServerAffinity" value="true" /

</resources>

<application-desc main-class="com.prod.my.myapp.common.framework.applicationmainwindow.gui.myappApplication"/

</jnlp>
