Well, I know that the Java plugin and Java Web Start are closed source.
It would be much easier to find bugs and contribute patches, if they
were open.
Anyway, what I would like to see is, that I could replace certain
modules of the jdk with modules from openjdk. This should become much
easier with project jigsaw, as each module can only use public apis from
other modules.
E.g.: The following excerpt of an hypothetical jnlp file, would replace
the javafx module from the installed jdk with an javafx module,
downloaded from a server.
<jnlp
spec="9.0+">
...
<security>
<all-permissions/>
</security>
...
<java version="1.9+">
<resources os="Windows" arch="x86">
<module name="jdk.javafx" href="modules/windows/x86/javafx.jimage" />
</resources>
</java>
...
</jnlp>

Neither a Java plugin nor a Java Web Start implementation are part of
OpenJDK, so you'd have to write your own.
