Package: openjdk-6-jre
Version: 6b14-1.5~pre1-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

the icons corresponding to openjdk-6-policytool.desktop and 
openjdk-6-javaws.desktop are displayed by default in the menus; the 
former in the settings menu, the latter in the internet menu.

However, the “policy tool” has absolutely nothing to do with the desktop 
settings. Furthermore I don’t see any of these tools do anything useful 
for the average user. The settings and internet menus are already too 
large, and we try to shrink the number of applications in them. It takes 
lots of effort to improve configuration applets just to remove one 
entry, and it takes only five minutes to add a useless java-specific 
entry by installing the Java browser plugin.

Please add NoDisplay=true entries to both desktop files so that they are 
not displayed by default. This setting can be changed per-user with a 
menu editor for those knowing what they are doing.

Another option is to add a "NotShowIn=GNOME;" entry, and to ask the KDE 
and Xfce maintainers if they want KDE and Xfce to be listed here as 
well.
