I am looking for an replacement for Java Webstart which is removed from Java 11. I use Webstart do deploy a Swing-Application.
The application uses following features from Webstart:
* Deployment for Windows, Mac and linux
* single instance
* check for correct java version
* register mimetype to start the application
Launch4J seems to fit quite well but according to the docs there is no support to register a mimetype to start the application (or call the running application using the single instance feature) for a special mimetype.
Am I wrong? Is this feature availiable? Or do I have to provide this feature using an installer?
Thanks in advance
