deployment.javaws.autodownload NEVER vs false #649
Description
OWS complains about
[ITW-CORE][2025-12-02 02:10:38.029 MEZ][ERROR][net.sourceforge.jnlp.config.DeploymentConfiguration] Property 'deployment.javaws.autodownload' has incorrect value "NEVER". Possible values sind true oder false. Setting default false
Unfortunately I didn't find and old documentation for deployment.properties but it seems that at least in Oracle Java 8 NEVER was a valid value.

The old original documentation with this property can be found here:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/properties.html
NEVER has always been a valid value, just like ALWAYS and PROMPT.
The IcedTea-Web project has probably simplified this to the values TRUE and FALSE:
