I suspected that webstart will be deprecated but ... that raises interesting questions: - why is the java 9 doc not up to date? https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/deploy/toc.html (explicitly describes webstart) - what would be a (future?) technology to update deliveries? (needed!)
(and btw this: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/specs/jar/jar.html <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/specs/jar/jar.html> is not also up to date since it does not says anywhere that -jar option was not compatible with modular jars ) thanks > Le 2 mars 2018 à 15:43, Jochen Theodorou <blackd...@gmx.org> a écrit : > > > > Am 02.03.2018 um 15:14 schrieb Bernard Amade: > [...] >> 2) then what is the simplest way to deploy jars if clicking on a jar does >> not work anymore with modules? >> (scripts are platform dependent, so are Jlink images ,...and what happens >> with jars delivered through java webstart? should we consider that java >> webstart is going to be deprecated?) > > from > http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/9-deprecated-features-3745636.html > >> docs/release_notes >> Java Deployment Technologies are deprecated and will be removed in a future >> release Java Applet and WebStart functionality, including the Applet API, >> The Java plug-in, the Java Applet Viewer, JNLP and Java Web Start including >> the javaws tool are all deprecated in JDK 9 and will be removed in a future >> release > > So they are deprecated in 9 according to this, I think 10 prints a warning > still. > > bye Jochen >
