OK, but there's still no man page. Did *you* try it?

$ apt-show-versions | grep icedtea-java7
$ apt-show-versions | grep openjdk
openjdk-6-jdk/hardy uptodate 6b07-0ubuntu1
openjdk-6-jre/hardy uptodate 6b07-0ubuntu1
openjdk-6-jre-headless/hardy uptodate 6b07-0ubuntu1
openjdk-6-jre-lib/hardy uptodate 6b07-0ubuntu1
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws

There are 2 alternatives which provide `javaws'.
