Starting with Java 11, WebStart is being removed from Java. Because even today several applications are built on top of this technology, it will be mission-critical for many companies to find a replacement for it.

It includes samples of several open source and commercial tools that provide such features and might mean new and cool possibilities for WebStart-based applications.
