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. ;-)
