OpenWebStart is an open source reimplementation of the Java Web Start technology. It provides the most commonly used features of Java Web Start and the JNLP standard, so that your customers can continue using applications based on Java Web Start and JNLP without any change. OpenWebStart is based on Iced-Tea-Web and the JNLP-specification defined in JSR-56. OpenWebStart is released under the GPL with Classpath Exception. For more information, read the full license here. The main focus of OpenWebStart is the execution of JNLP-based applications. Additionally, the tool contains four modules that simplify your Web Start workflows and let you configure OpenWebStart to suit your needs: - App Manager: manages the versions of any JNLP-based application that is executed by OpenWebStart. - JVM Manager: manages Java versions and Java updates on the client. - Control Panel: provides a graphical user interface to configure OpenWebStart. - Updater: downloads and installs new versions of OpenWebStart. The OpenWebStart website already provides deb package downloads. The JavaPackaging team will probably be interested in this.
