Where is "Control Center" in Java 11?

Question

We own Oracle Java Desktop Subscriptions and using Java 8 for Desktop Clients. With Java 11 Oracle releases only JDK version, which includes a JRE.

With Java 11 the Control Center is missing. Is it right, that the CC is released only in OpenJDK?

Question: How do we get back the Control Center in Java 11 and or future versions using the licensed version of Java? Why: With the Control Center we can set easily some security parameters.

Answer 1

For the record, there never was a "Java Control Center".

• Java Flight Recorder (JFR) and Java Mission Control (JMC) are included in both Oracle Java 11 and OpenJDK Java 11

• The Java Control Panel which was part of the deployment tool chain that was dropped in Java 11; see the release notes. It is not available for either Oracle Java 11 or OpenJDK Java 11.

So:

Question: How do we get back the Control Center in Java 11 and or future versions using the licensed version of Java?

Assuming you are talking about the Java Control Panel, the answer is (AFAIK) you can't, and this won't change in future releases ... unless Oracle (or someone else) comes up with a replacement for the deployment tool chain.

Why: With the Control Center we can set easily some security parameters.

It appears that many of the security parameters that were configured using the Java Control Panel control the security of the Java browser plugin and Java Webstart. JWS and the browser plugin no longer exist in Java 11.

You were interested in configuring Control Panel > Security > Exception Site List. Allowed the user to mark certain sites as "safe" as a source for "Rich Internet Applications" (RIAs). Since RIAs relied on either JWS or the Java browser plugin, this configuration property is moot.

(Or at least ... that is what I have deduced from reading the Java 8 deployment docs.)
