Why do you want "to remove this"? – Pilot6 Mar 16 '19 at 08:54

All these icons are different applications:
- Oracle Java 8 Console
- Oracle Java 8 Visual VM
- Oracle Java 8 Mission Control
- Oracle Java 8 Web Start
- Oracle Java 8 Policy Tool
- Oracle Java 8 Plugin Control Panel
All these programs are useful for Java development and there is no reason to "remove this".
If you really want to remove these Launcher items, you can delete .desktop
files from /usr/share/applications
.
That won't remove JAVA itself.
