Public bug reported:

When you install openjdk, webstart appears in the internet applications
menu. When you open this app, it is totally unclear what it does. It
seems to have something to do with certificates, but other than that I
couldn make sense of it. This is probably not something that should be
in the application menu. Perhaps it could be in the preferences menu if
it is really needed? And it should have a help button or anything
explaining what it actually does.

** Affects: openjdk-6 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
