JDK-6713203 - REG : System JRE entry is missing in Java Control Panel->JNLP Runtime Settings->system tab
Description
Remove button should be disabled for default JRE in Java Runtime settings dialog

Tested build : 6u10 b24
Tested OS : windows

Steps to reproduce :
1. install 6u10 b24
2. launch java control panel
3. go to java tab, click view button
Java Runtime Settings dialog will be launched. There will be a default JRE entry (installed JRE)
4. select the default JRE
5. Click on Remove button
default JRE entry is removed from the table

Expected behavior: It should not allow to remove the default JRE entry from the table. It is better to disable the Remove button when default JRE is chosen.

Note : It is a regression from b23.
Comments
EVALUATION On Unix platforms, we need mark the current running JRE as "registered". This prevents the "remove" button.

EVALUATION I believe this is related to 6713203, as remove button is disabled for "system" JRE, and the default JRE should be listed in System JREs.

EVALUATION It might be a regression caused by merging plugin and javaws jre info. The user impact is minor since plugin/JCP can regeneate the jre list from the registry. Even the current jre entry is removed, it will come back automatically next time when control panel is launched.
