Answer 1

There is OpenWebStart start project. It says:

we decided to create OpenWebStart, an open source reimplementation of the Java Web Start technology. Our replacement will provide the most commonly used features of Java Web Start and the JNLP standard, so that your customers can continue using applications based on Java Web Start and JNLP without any change.

At the moment the project is alpha phase. Download is available. Beta should be available by the end of the year:

Our goal is to have beta tests and a release candidate ready in Q3/2019
