Weird Java Webstart JNLP exception

I am having a java webstart app which uses a simple JNLP. Recently I am having wierd problems when launching it. I never had this problem before and I am pretty sure none of the content got modified either :( I get this error when trying to launch this app.

WARNING: <> tag is not closed correctly Exception parsing xml at line 33

As you can see its not giving which tag has the problem. As far as I can see; there is no problem with line 33. it has a simple tag <argument>session_token_here</argument>

Update: This is the JNLP file;

  <jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="https://MASKHOST:5467/"

Any help or pointers to proceed further is greatly appreciated.

<extension href="https://MASKHOST:5467/jnlp/productplugins.jsp"
 name="Component name/>

Should be..

<extension href="https://MASKHOST:5467/jnlp/productplugins.jsp"
 name="Component name"/>

But check the JNLP usig JaNeLA and fix any errors identified.

This line:

<java java-vm-args="-Xms64m -Xmx256m -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se" version="1.6*&1.6.0_05+"/>

has an embedded & which should be escaped like this:

<java java-vm-args="-Xms64m -Xmx256m -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se" version="1.6*&amp;1.6.0_05+"/>

There is an unescaped & on the first line also.

The following line is missing a closing double quote:

 <extension href="https://MASKHOST:5467/jnlp/productplugins.jsp" name="Component name/>

but that may be a redaction typo.

In the absence of any JNLP file, I can suggest using the Janela JNLP validator tool

Maybe you've got an xml-comment or hanging quote character " or something?
