Hello,
I realized that javaws is missing in openjdk7 and openjdk8. Any plans to
include/reactivate it. Would be nice to administer my Server and Switch
via webinterface...

It's not part of openjdk, you need java/icedtea-web. That port contains
both javaws and web plugin.

Thanks! Icedtea-web did the trick. Nevertheless: in openjdk[78] is all
the stuff for javaws -- its just not yet ported.

No, Sun/Oracle never open-sourced their Java Web Start implementation.

Is there an open source version that is similar to their Java Web Start?

AFAIK, IcedTea-Web is the only option. If it is not "similar" enough
for you, then Oracle Java 8 for Linux is the only choice ATM, i.e.,
java/linux-oracle-{jdk,jre}18.
