Description

To better align our Demos to IIA concepts, I'm thinking to re-enable JNLP links for our Demos, so they can run even with Java Web Start as Applications.

And maybe changing the text View with something like "Run as Applet", and add bottom another link like "Run as Application" ...
Note that this could help even to improve the experience to all users that has/had troubles running our Applets (some thread on Pivot-2.0 and the IcedTea plugin on Linux, and some problems on some Dell machines with Windows, etc).

Note that those links was removed by PIVOT-500 issue ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-500 ), but with latest Java 6 Update 21 and upper (currently 6 Update 24) there isn't that problem, so now it's safe to re-enable them.
