The proposal in JSR 379 is java.xml.ws and the other modules that 
overlap with EE be deprecated (forRemoval=true) so that we can drop them 
from Java SE in a future release (hopefully 10 if the JSR for Java SE 10 
agrees).

So I think Java Web Start is right to align with the policy for 
applications launched on the command line.
