Webstart is certainly not dead, I use it every day.  I have my own application with a self sign certificate, but we only run it on the local network.  The link you provide does not run on mine, with that block message saying it's self signed.  If you try one of the links from the Oracle samples you get a warn window instead, with a button marked "Run" to continue, and a check box to "never see this warning again for this publisher".

The only way you should be able to get a self signed webstart to work over the internet is to go into your Java Control Panel under security and add it to exception site list.
