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-
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/
/usr/share/
And would only need a one-line modification. This would help cleaning the menus, and System->Preferences really doesn't need more bloating. ;-)
> /usr/share/ applications/ openjdk- 6-java. desktop
this one is hidden by default
