Is there a roadmap/strategy for Spectrum and Java 11 and Webstart?

  • 1.  Is there a roadmap/strategy for Spectrum and Java 11 and Webstart?

    Posted Jun 15, 2020 10:00 AM
    ​Hi Community!

    A customer has rolled out:
    - Amazon Coretto JDK 11.0.6_10 and
    - Open Webstart 1.1.7
    on their clients.
    Has anybody experience with running Spectrum 10.4.0 on this versions?

    Also is there roadmap for Spectrum with regards to Java 11 and Webstart?
    I have in mind (correct me if I am wrong) that Webstart won't be available in (Oracle) Java 11 and therefore the way OneClick is starting should be changed..?

    Chhers,
    Joern

    For OpenWebStart Karakun offers commercial support: https://openwebstart.com/support/ Maybe you can ping the support team. Next to this it a more detailed description of the issue should be posted to the OpenWebStart issue tracker: https://github.com/karakun/OpenWebStart/issues 

    About Java WebStart you are right: Oracle has removed it from Java 11+. It still part of new Java 8 releases but such releases can only be used in production if you bought commercial support for the Oracle JDK. Again here OpenWebStart support with an JDK that provides free LTS support (like AdoptOpenJDK / https://adoptopenjdk.net) might be much cheaper ;)
