FWIW, IIRC, Sun's java 6 was installed, not openjdk, when pulling ubuntu-restricted-extras? But anyway, as this is not part of the default desktop install, I understand the point is moot anyway. Oh well, maybe it will be fixed later :)
-- Rather useless Java menu entries https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222180 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu. Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid 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. ;-) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openjdk More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
