Hi Clemens,

I checked the Contributor Agreements at 
http://www.sunsource.net/CA_signatories, and you are listed there. 
Therefore you are eligible to contribute code to all products and 
projects owned or managed by Sun. I am not sure why you did not get an 
email confirming this. A query has been sent to the relevant department 
in Sun about this.

Java Webstart has not been open sourced yet, but this is actively being 
worked on and hopefully will be available under GPL soon. For now you 
can still contribute to Webstart ( and other areas of the jdk ) through 
the JDK 7 Project on https://jdk7.dev.java.net/collaborate.html.

Sorry, I believe all of the "I fixed the jdk" shirts are gone :-(

Thank you for your interest in working on this technology and we look 
forward to your first contribution.

Regards,
-Chris.
