Description:
There could be created desktop files for java commands that have gui. There are interesting utilities, some I haven't know about, but they look useful.

Programs:
* Java Web Start - installed applications
* Java Control Panel
* Java Monitoring and Management Console
* Java VisualVM
* Policy Tool

And their executables:
/opt/java/bin/javaws -viewer
/opt/java/bin/jcontrol
/opt/java/bin/jconsole
/opt/java/bin/jvisualvm
/opt/java/bin/policytool
This task depends upon

This should be filed upstream.

Unless anyone has any objections I'll close this.

We already had this discussion. It's half-upstream, half-distro. So don't, please! I'll do it someday :)

Time proves I might not do it... Provide the .desktop files and I'll include them!

Here you go :) There are desktop files with englosh and czech names.

I tested them on KDE, they fit into submenus and use "java" system icon (it is in kde system icons set).
I hope they will work in GNOME, too.

Geoffroy, have these files been added to the package? If not would you like myself or one of the other TUs to do it? This should be a simple bug to close.
