I thought Java web start was done in by unsolvable security issues.  I 
liked it however.  I haven't tried IcedTea or Openwebstart.  I don't 
think there is any javaws in 11 or 12.

I have used the recent OpenJDK versions on both Linux and Windows and 
have been quite happy with them, especially with the performance since 8.

I've got some Java application programs running in the field on Linux 
boxes and I just update those with sftp and a remote reboot.  They all 
report in periodically so I can check their status and one of those 
items is version so I know if somebody isn't up to date.  Web start was 
simpler.
