[Bug 456936] [NEW] Java Menu Entries In Gnome

[DasFox]

Public bug reported:

When you install sun-java6-jre you get a menu entry in Gnome under
Applications - Internet - Sun Java 6 Web Start, which does nothing.

Also under the System - Preferences Java places two menu entries there:

Sun Java 6 Plugin Control Panel
Sun Java 6 Policy Tool

It has been my understanding for the past 10 years in Linux that in
Gnome the System - Preferences are related to system preferences as the
relate to Gnome function and administration.

I truly hope that the Ubuntu developers will remove Java from the System
- Preferences, as it seems an inappropriate place.

Under the menu there should just be a entry called System that these are
placed in instead.
