not really, until java 10 we had also desktop integration like java -jar assignments and jnlp association for starting a webstart application so for windows it really integrated also into the registry. but thats pretty much all gone now, maybe if you pay oracle? > > Java on the desktop is really dead now (and we have quite a few > > customers using that through webstart) > > Webstart is also dead. But let's be honest, Java on the desktop was > never really alive in the first place. Not for us! we have a lot of customers that all use our webstart client to run there own created applications in it.. Those users are end users like crm systems and so on. Not developers Besides that also a lot of companies have i think in house stuff that run like that. Yes applets are dead for a long time, but Webstart applications are fine and is a good way to get desktop applications that are auto updateable But thats pretty much killed now The weird thing is people say now use jlink that is the replacement for it.. Huh?? what??
