Good question. Nowadays it should handle smb:// or other network protocol just the same it does with http:// but maybe it has auto-imposed some limitations on linux environments (at least under windows you can launch a java JAR that is stored in a network share) or is just the JAR file has to be prepared to be run over the network (IIRC, there is a jCIFS library to that precisely purpose).
