Hi Runiter

Please use jstack or jvisualvm in order to determine where it hangs under GNU Linux. We need much more information. Personally, I'm progressively moving away from Java Webstart and I'm very happy but we can do nothing against paranoid virus scanners under Microsoft Windows.

Edit.: There is a solution for the hang if the root cause is the same than mine. When I updated Oracle Java under Windows, it hanged because of a regression in Java Webstart in Java 1.7 update 65. Just delete C:\Users\${USERS}\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java:
