Remove JnlpServlet. Rationale: we are no users anymore:

  • Webstart is since java8 EOL
  • OxygenXML is not compatible with the xmldb 2.0 API.

@duncdrum yes it is our own java client. Java webstart allowed the interactive client to be downloaded and started, zero conf. It required jar signing etc etc. We found it an easy way to have oxygen to download the same dependencies.

time changes...
