"Unable to create shortcut for" on starting Java7 on OSX

Whenever I start a JNLP WebStart Application with Java7 on OS X 10.8 I get the following message dialog:

Unable to create shortcut for XXXX

The console outputs the following exception:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Users/XXXX/Library/Application Support/Oracle/Java/Deployment/cache/6.0/37/6bb90625-129dd80a.icns (No such file or directory)

Cleaning cache, removing deployment cache does not help.

The shortcut-bug on OSX existed in Java 7u9. It was fixed in 7u10. You probably need to update your JRE.
