Is Java WebStart Deprecated?

[dalibor topic]

Well, given that OpenJDK 9 downloads are currently only available for 
Linux x86, the question is a bit moot. [0]

While the Oracle JDK 9 download covers more platforms [1], you'd need to 
find a way to run/extract the various target platform installation 
packages on source platforms first, before you can start thinking about 
cross-linking.

I suspect that's even less fun than it sounds in comparison to just 
using jlink natively.
