I also verified with a completely fresh user profile. It still only
displays the openjdk option.

You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK,
which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu.

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Basically when opening a web start application firefox gives one option for the jnlp file: Open with OpenJDK6 Web Start (default). The sun-java6-plugin isn't even displayed and I assume has to be manually selected.

But when you go to alternatives:
$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/javaws
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 2008-10-06 13:54 /etc/alternatives/javaws -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/javaws

So something is definitely amiss here. This is probably either firefox's or one of the plugin packages' fault. This is in Ubuntu 8.04 with all packages up to date at moment of submission.
