OpenWebStart is a free framework to run and manage JNLP-based Java applications.[1]

Oracle's discontinuation of Java Web Start left JNLP users looking for an alternative in the Java ecosystem.[2] The OpenWebStart project was started with the goal to provide ongoing support for Java Web Start-based application for users of Java 11 and newer.[3]

OpenWebStart implements the JNLP standard defined in JSR-56.[4] Its JNLP functionality is based on IcedTea-Web, which was donated by Red Hat to the AdoptOpenJDK community. Development is now being continued by Red Hat and Karakun AG.[5]

OpenWebStart is open source and can be downloaded for free from Karakun AG's website.[6]
