I´m trying to package a Java application for launching via Java Web Start.
The developer of a freeware Java application once told me:

"Actually, I avoided Java Web Start because of the nightmare of
signing Jar files which would tie up the rest of my life in misery. I
did have a go a few years ago but gave up after a few weeks of solid
work having failed to get it to work on even one platform. Of course,
things may have got better since then, but the mental scars still
linger."

This kind of statement is the one that hits my nervers. Doomsday is
mentioned, but absolutely no trace of details. I and my customers have
been using JNLP for a long time. We experienced some bug with the
jarsigner, but disappeared in a few hours.
For what concern the IDE support, honestly I'm quickly forgetting
everything is not Maven centered (I can generate JNLP out of my NetBeans
Platform applications with a goal of the related Maven plugin), but if I
remember well NetBeans has got a "Create JNLP" option for Swing apps,
possibly since 6.5.
