The OpenJDK 8 for Windows distribution includes an implementation of the Java Web Start deployment protocol based on the IcedTea-Web open source project.
This implementation of the Java Web Start protocol may not be fully compatible with the proprietary Java Web Start implementation included in the Oracle Java 8 distribution.
