I'm going to critique and propose to modify my own summary. :-)

This list is probably too long.
javaws is an application distribution tool for deployment *within* a
corporate domain. Its probably not appropriate for an ISV centered
specification. (It also neatly avoids the following issue:
"Availability (from Sun) of javaws for 64-bit Linux (any architecture)",
but this isn't the reason for suggesting to not specify it.)
jcontrol is a configuration tool for system administrators. Again, not
appropriate for the LSB.
That just leaves "java".
