Your guess is correct -- javawebstart.version is effectively showing
java.version concatenated with 'javaws-'. It really should match the
release version of Java 6 in this case, but doesn't due to how Web Start was
built.
Not sure what the 1.6 issue is, however. My guess is that the native part
of Java Web Start picked the wrong version of Java for some reason, and when
the Java part of Web Start re-launches Java with the right version the
"-Xdock:name" value is lost. I've fixed that problem in the past, but this
could be a different variant.
