Java WebStart is not included in OpenJDK. See this: Openjdk and Java webstart

You can try to use other OpenJDK implementations, such as AdoptOpenJDK, which has IcedTeaWeb optionally packaged into the JDK. https://adoptopenjdk.net/

IcedTeaWeb is an alternative to original WebStart and works almost the same from user point of view when using eg. AdoptOpenJDK.
