J2SE Version (please include all output from java -version flag):
  java version "1.5.0-beta2"
  Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-beta2-b48)
  Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-beta2-b48, mixed mode, sharing)

Does this problem occur on J2SE 1.3.x or 1.4.x? Yes / No (pick one)
  No

Operating System Configuration Information (be specific):
  Windows XP

Bug Description:
  Java Web Start applications are now added to the Windows Add/Remove
  Programs dialog, which is a great thing, but instead of adding an entry
  for, for example, JDiskReport, an entry is added for "Java-Application:
  JDiskReport". This contradicts efforts by the Swing, desktop, and JWS
  teams to integrate Java applications better into the OS.

  It wouldn't make sense for, for example, "AOL Instant Messenger" to be
  listed as "C++-Application: AOL Instant Messenger", and similarly it
  doesn't make sense to show "Java-Application:" before Web Start
  applications' entries.

  Additionally, the naming is a problem to the user for two reasons:
  first, the user does not care what Java is, or which programs he or she
  uses are written in which languages. Second, placing Java-Application
  before Web Start Add/Remove Programs entries places all Web Start
  applications in the J section. If a user were looking to uninstall
  Blocks (by Tom Copeland), he or she would not be looking in the J section.
