Public bug reported:

I run Ubuntu 8.04 and i've installed openjdk-6-jre.
Like a lot of people, i need Java to access my bank site.
Now Applications>Internet menu shows 2 useless icons (named "openjdk java 6 web start" & "sun java 5.0 web start")
I think these icons should be hidden : they clutter the interface for nothing and don't help newbies.
Moreover, with Ubuntu Netbook Remix Launcher it's again more obvious.
