Well -according to the announcement that triggered this thread, then
Java Web Start is dead as well.

Consequently:
* Oracle will extend support for Web Start in Java SE 8 from March, 
2019, through at least March 2025.
* Oracle products that have dependencies on Web Start will remain on 
Java SE 8 and continue with the support timelines as indicated by those 
products.
* Oracle will not include Java Web Start in Java SE 11 (18.9 LTS) and later.
* Oracle will begin encouraging application developers and users to 
transition away from Java Web Start and encourage non-commercial 
consumers to remove any unused or non-supported Oracle JRE installations 
from their desktops.
* Developers who deploy desktop applications to individual consumers 
(eg, games, personal banking, or other B2C applications) will need to 
transition to other deployment technologies such as the jlink and/or 
third party packaging and deployment solutions before the end of 2020.
* Application developers who target applications for internal data 
processing, business, commercial, or production purposes, will either 
need to seek commercial license with Oracle, or transition to other 
deployment technologies by January 2019.
