Automate download of new JDK Early Access Releases

[Reto Merz]

Hello,

Thanks for recommendation. But the OpenJDK does not include Java Webstart.

The critcial part of our software is client-side which uses Java Webstart.
Our customers install the JRE from java.com and most of them
regularly update the JRE (especially OSX clients are forced to do that).
We do not have the control over the JRE version client-side so this is very critical.
We need to guarantee that our client works with every new JRE release.

Maybe I should fill a feature request on https://support.oracle.com/ for this ?
It would be okay for us to "permanently" accept the licence and download it
from a special location which needs some sort of authentication.
(We already have Premier Support for Oracle Java SE.)
Or would be such a feature request pointless ?

Best Regards
Reto Merz
