Hi everybody,

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
Gerhard Hiller
