I'm little worrying about the removal of Java web Start from Java 11.

Any special reason behind javaws removal ? And share the best alternatives for javaws.

IcedTea-Web seems to be a go-to replacement for Java Web Start.

Reason for removing it can be found in JEP-289

To run a Java applet in a web browser requires the use of a browser plug-in. As of late 2015, however, many browser vendors have either already removed plug-in support or else announced timelines for such removal. Once browser plug-ins disappear, there will be no reason to use the Applet API.
