Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: New
Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
When you install openjdk-6-jre, you get two menu entries: one in 
System->Preferences called "OpenJDK Java  Policy Tool", and one in 
Applications->Internet called "OpenJDK Java  Web Start".

Java is a very common need, and thus I don't think they're really needed by 
default: these configuration options are really obscure and we already have 
hidden simpler tools from GNOME. At least, the one in Applications should be 
(re)moved because it is in no way an application, but merely a limited control 
panel.

The implied files are:
/usr/share/applications/openjdk-6-java.desktop
/usr/share/applications/openjdk-6-policytool.desktop

And would only need a one-line modification. This would help cleaning the 
menus, and System->Preferences really doesn't need more bloating. ;-)
