ebuild is not a problem. the hard part is the launchers patch and this ebuild omits it.

Yes, it did not apply. However, web_start works for us using openjdk and
icedtea. We might have a simple case, I have no idea really.
Comment 5 Joakim Tjernlund 2020-01-15 18:33:12 UTC
icedtea-web appears  slow to develop
There is a new kid on then block,  OpenWebStart

Java Web Start is dead. Long live Java Web Start!

Java Web Start (JWS) was deprecated in Java 9, and starting with Java 11, Oracle removed JWS from their JDK distributions. This means that clients that have the latest version of Java installed can no longer use JWS-based applications. And since public support of Java 8 has ended in Q2/2019, companies no longer get any updates and security fixes for Java Web Start.

This is why we decided to create OpenWebStart, an open source reimplementation of the Java Web Start technology. Our replacement will provide 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.

Comment 10 Martin Mokrejš 2021-01-14 23:47:44 UTC
openwebstart-1.3.1 is out, btw. I need to continue using a JNLP app and therefore, still keep jre-8 to execute it.
Comment 11 Randall 2021-11-21 15:42:16 UTC
I added this to my portage overlay for testing. You can find the mirror here: https://github.com/ran-dall/portage-overlay

I would appreciate if anyone that uses it, provides feedback. I feel like this would be much better served on the Guru overlay, however, I believe getting some more testing on it going before uploading would be a decent idea.

From my limited testing with IPMI, it works on my machine with Java 8 (fwiw, only Java 11 is also compatible), however most times (when using with IPMI) performance isn't anything too impressive... but it does work.

I've just discovered OpenWebStart after spending quite some time on v8: icedtea JVM doesn't support JavaFX while openjdk-8 has the javafx use flag masked on ppc64le (which fortunately works fine if you unmask it).
Good to know that it would be possible to use openjdk-11+
Comment 15 Martin Mokrejš 2022-03-30 17:53:01 UTC
There is OpenWebStart_linux_1_5_2.deb available.

The dev-java/openweb-start-bin-1.4.0::randall works for my limited purposes, though.
Comment 16 Martin Mokrejš 2022-10-13 08:27:55 UTC
I see why there are parse errors with the /usr/share/mime/packages/jnlp.xml file. The jnlp.xml contains instead a redirect error message from Apache webserver pointing to the attachement page with the jnlp.xml file.

Anyway, there is 1.6.0 version out.

Building from source should not be too complicated according to https://github.com/karakun/OpenWebStart/blob/v1.6.0/openwebstart/pom.xml.
Should you need help, ask on irc #gentoo-java

Thank you Volkmar but I do not intend to write the ebuilds myself anymore, those which I contributed to gentoo in the past were deleted (EAPI incompatibilities, requirements for too new gcc or java, deleted deps, etc).

I will be happy if somebody else picks this package up and wil test it.

Seems like these files still works for 1.7.0. I added openwebstart-bin to my own overlay fol4, so it's available there if anyone needs it.

Maybe this is a package ripe for proxy maintainment or something?

Adding it to ::guru (Project GURU, https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:GURU) would be a good first step.

Is there any updated ebuild for this? I tried openwebstart-bin-1.7.0 from fol4, and it didn't work - I tried 3 different jnlp apps. Latest version at this moment is 1.9.1. icedtea-web doesn't work either.
I'd like to help but I don't know how to write ebuilds.
