Is IcedTea Web included in openjdk 11? #379

Closed AlBundy33 closed 5 years ago

AlBundy33 commented 5 years ago

According to https://adoptopenjdk.net/migration.html IcedTea Web is only included in OpenJDK 8. Will this be added to OpenJDK 11 to?

hendrikebbers commented 5 years ago

As far as I know it is not planned to include ITW in Adopt 11. OpenWebStart (https://openwebstart.com) that is build on top of ITW will support Java 11 in near future.

judovana commented 5 years ago

ITW is already supporting jdk11 (jdk 13 is the one with probelms now) Adopt do not include it, and I would say it is jsutified. Jdk11+javaws,... well, not exactl tested @AdoptOpenJDK are you planning to include it?

@AlBundy33 you can already now try ITW with jdk11. Just poinnt jaav_home or jre proeprty to it, and itw will run with that. Any feedback on it welcommed

AlBundy33 commented 5 years ago

IMHO it would be better for endusers to have ITW or OpenWebstart integrated (like in the Oracles older versions).

At least at now it seems that ITW and OpenWebstart are the only alternatives for webstart. Btw. what are the differences between ITW an OpenWebstart?

AdoptOpenJDK has actually choose to not bundled IcedTeaWeb after jdk8 to not slow down release process. see slack thread here : https://adoptopenjdk.slack.com/archives/CGZQHJ8MB/p1558445503208500

I think that as this is holding up a release we should remove it from 11 for now and we can put it back in if the community comes to that conclusion afterwards

Alternatively you can use IcedTeaWeb installer for later jdk from here https://adoptopenjdk.net/icedtea-web.html

See what OpenWebStart want to add in front of IcedTeaWeb : https://openwebstart.com/feature-table/

OpenWebStart contributes as much as possible to ITW. Some features would break the current behavior of ITW and are therefore only available in OWS

So far the main differences are the following:

Thanks @all for clarification.

According to your answers and the feature-table it seems (at least for now) that ITW should be enough and that there is no need to use OWS.

With OWS you do not have to install any Java on your machine.
