OpenWebStart 1.12

OpenWebStart by Karakun AG is a free, open-source replacement for Java Web Start that lets you launch and manage Java applications distributed as JNLP files on modern Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. It restores one-click launching of secure, centrally managed Java client applications, even where the original Java Web Start is no longer available.

Key features:

• Full JNLP compatibility for launching and updating Java applications
• Integrated JVM manager to download, select, and control the Java runtime per application
• Secure code-signing validation, sandboxing, and configurable security settings
• Enterprise-friendly configuration with centralized policies and deployment controls
